We enjoyed the apartment and location. The apartment was beautiful and comfortable, and thoughtfully well-stocked. We were able to walk almost everywhere we desired to go in Madrid, and there were plentiful markets and shops right around the corner, as well as many metro stops. However, the noise from construction work going on next door and above greatly affected our comfort and stay. Except for the two weekend days of our stay, there was continuous banging and sawing from early in the morning until about 5 pm that seemed to come from the building next door but sounded like it was in the bathrooms and the bedrooms. The last two days there was also work going on in the apartment above us. This affected our rest and our ability to enjoy the apartment. At times we needed to turn the TV up quite loud to be able to hear it. I was disappointed that the host did not offer any kind of resolution due to this impactful disturbance and would be hesitant to recommend or stay in the apartment again without being assured that there would be no work happening, even though we absolutely love the area. The apartment itself was exactly as advertised and delightful.
