We enjoyed the location of this apartment - just a few minutes walk to the metro as well as a large amount of restaurants & bars. However, there are a couple attributes about the apartment that future guests should be aware of. The apartment itself was small but nice - newly renovated, although the floor was a bit dirty (I imagine due to the recent renovations). Upon arrival, it was VERY warm in the apartment - I imagine in the summer it will be even warmer. There is no air conditioning and also no ceiling fan or portable fan, so it took a while for the place to cool down during the evening. The apartment is on the second floor facing the street - a busy street with restaurants & bars directly underneath, which means that the noise continued throughout the night (we were there on a Friday & Saturday night). So we had the choice of either opening the window to have fresh, cooler air but deal with the noise, or close the window and enjoy lesser noise but a warmer apartment. We chose the latter due to the sheer volume of the noise. Again, enjoyed the location in Madrid - very convenient - but there are a couple tradeoffs.
