We enjoyed our stay here and would be happy to stay here again. This is a very nice apartment and an excellent value. The apartment building is within 100 meters, on foot, of both a metro (subway) stop and a full-size supermarket. We found a large gym at 300 meters away, on foot, for 20 euros for one week. The total travel time, using the metro and walking, is 14 minutes to Puerta del Sol and 17 minutes to Plaza Mayor, according to a map app. The host, Miguel, responded promptly to our communications; and allowed us to place our bags in the apartment before the check-in time. The living/dining room and master bedroom windows face a large, rear courtyard area. The second bedroom window faces a smaller, inner area. There was virtually no street noise, even with the windows open. And while there was occasional, modest noise from within the building during the day, we slept well, given that the neighbors were quiet at night. The apartment is comfortably spacious. It has a warm and attractive decor, as shown in the photos. The kitchen is large, has ample counter space including the swing-up table, and overall is nicer than in the photo. The master bedroom has good natural light. The living/dining room has excellent window area and excellent natural light, as well as a nice view of the adjacent apartment buildings and a large courtyard area below. We enjoyed walking in the Madrid Rio Park along the Manzanares River, which is 850 meters away from the apartment on foot. This area is very open, with nice walkways, playgrounds and grass areas. We liked this area more than the better-known Retiro Park.
