The apartment in Madrid has a great central location, very close to the Palace and the fun and yummy mercado. The apartment is nicely decorated just like it shows in the pictures and feels very homely. The apartment is a bit dark with little natural light but the host has added extra lighting for either soft light or bright overhead lights, which was a nice touch. The bed was comfortable with nice linens and was very quiet. The downside is the entrance is a bit old and smelly but it does have an elevator which is very helpful.
