This apartment is perfectly located can’t stress that enough, as central as it gets. Few minutes from puerta del sol and San Miguel market and pretty much like 20 minute walk to the furthest site. Also great bars and restaurants all over this area. The view every morning was beautiful and i didn’t really think there was significant noise from outside at all especially for the amount of foot traffic it gets and I’m a light sleeper. We really loved this flat, the location and loved how beautiful the unit looks, it felt like I was in a suite at a hotel. Hot water was good and strong wifi, ac works very good. The only problem I had and I feel bad saying this is the bed was too firm/hard. To the point my body was hurting, mine more than my girlfriend and i actually slept on the couch the first couple days because of it. But I do have minor back problems and this has happened once to me at a very nice hotel in New York except that mattress was soggy. I was able to sleep better by placing the comforter on the bed and sleeping on top of that for a little cushion. So just something to consider if you have back or neck problems, like I said tho once I placed that comforter on the bed I was finally able to sleep on it good. Too bad I figured this out on my last day. Aside from that we really love this place. Also the host was nice enough to accommodate us since our flight was canceled. Also felt like I was in a hotel since this is the first air bnb that the cleaning fee actually pays for cleaning. It made checking out super easy.
