This is a decent loft in a phenomenal location. Ideally situated between the touristy stuff on Gran Via and right next to some of the hipper (cheaper) neighbourhoods if that’s more your style. Under 5 minute walk to the metro. It’s on the main floor next to the front door so that does provide a bit of noise, but in our experience everywhere in Spain is noisy. The shower has great shower pressure which is pretty rare. The place could have been cleaner, but it wasn’t like it was too gross to stay in. You’ll just be sleeping here anyway, there is way too much to do right near the apartment to spend much time there.
