Location is close to a street with lots of lively bars and ethnic restaurants. It's also a short walk to El Retiro Park, the train and metro stations and about a 15-20 min walk to Plaza del Sol. Parking for the unit is a bit difficult as it is not located in the same building. Also, keep in mind that the neighbors can be noisy at times as the apartment balcony overlooks a community garden that is popular with kids of all ages. Also, the neighbors tend to stay up late watching t.v. ( 1 to 2 AM) and ear plugs are a must as the common wall does not provide adequate sound insulation - you can hear their conversations when all else is quite. Also, the tile floors need reconditioning as do both bathrooms - typical wear and tear. Finally, I was on a business trip so a quite work area was important and the unit didn't fit that bill but that was mostly my fault in the selection process.
