A great modern flat In a terrific location to be able to explore Madrid. Two minutes from Gran via, two minutes from Cortes Ingles,and two minutes from the opera house and the palace. The apartment is bright during the day. The flat had everything we needed & the grocery store was just around the corner. The new windows that open onto the park really make a difference in addressing the previous noise complaints. At night we closed the windows and the shutters and really heard nothing. There are some bars in the small plaza below, but we were never bothered by them and did not hear noise once we did the aforementioned. The owner met us at the flat exactly when he said he would and gave us a tour of the apartment to be sure we had everything we needed.
