This was a great location and awesome place to say at that we really enjoyed. Like most people have said it is in close walking distance to lots of museums, restaurants, bars, metro station, groceries, etc... The street noise didn't bother us except for one night where we could hear police car sirens and people out drinking were singing in the street, so bring some ear plugs just in case. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for simple cooking, even brown sugar and cinnamon to make oatmeal in the morning. We also enjoyed having an electric kettle, toaster, wine refrigerator and different methods to make coffee (nespresso machine, french press, and espresso percolator). It is a second floor walk up with lots of stairs which was a little difficult to get up when we arrived with our big suitcase or when you're tired from walking and being out all day. The bed was comfy but supportive and I really liked the soft comforter. Everything worked well, was clean and organized. The hosts had good communication before, during, and at the end of the trip and were accommodating and let us drop off our suitcases early before check in. If looking for a place in central Madrid, this is it!
