This was a great place for our four-day trip to Madrid. The location is excellent--we did not set foot on the metro or bus because the primary sites are walkable from the apartment. We walked to the Prado, Palace, Plaza Mayor etc. It is also adjacent to the Lavapies, which is an interesting departure from primary tourist Madrid. The apartment itself was roomy, clean and comfortable. Each room has an air conditioner with easy controls. This was quite important because we visited during the July heat, and we had no problems keeping the apartment cool. We only used the kitchen a little but found it well-stocked with pots and pans and the induction range worked well. The only minor issue is being just one floor up from a very busy square. On the bright side, this means some people-watching opportunities, and the apartment has shutters which provide light and noise control, but I was nevertheless woken up once in the early morning (which to locals is actually still night) by prolonged shouting on the street. It's a major city, this can happen, just worth noting that being closer to the street means noise. On balance if we returned to Madrid we'd certainly consider this apartment again.
