The apartment is located on a pedestrian only street with shops, vendors, and places to eat. But the apartment is very quiet, secluded from the noise. There is a small market around the corner which was very convenient (And a Starbucks up the street) We were also able to sign in to Netflix on the TV which was an added plus to our teens. Just minutes to Plaza Mayor and Puerto del Sol. Great tapas in the area and close to tour bus options. Would definitely return!
