We give this apartment top marks for aesthetics, location, cleanliness, lighting, comfort. After touring the central area of Madrid for a week on foot we concluded this is a fantastic location. The residential street is quiet but you are a short walk to the big art museums, parks and the train station. There are several small grocery stores nearby and many bars and eateries. Vanessa met us on our arrival and oriented us to the apartment and area. She provided a very useful map with personal notations of recommended places to visit and experience. Have in mind the apartment shares a small landing with three others, and a common stairwell with other floors. Sometimes there is noise from neighbors talking on the stairs, walking their dog and generally coming and going. Nonetheless we would definitely recommend this unit.
