The apartment is in a fabulous location, right in the heart of Madrid. It is within minutes of the Sol, Palace and Plaza. The apartment is on the 5th floor, there was a small lift and a staircase, a few times we used the stairs but It was poorly lit and in the evening's you would have to watch your footing as the motion senses didn't always pick you up.
The apartment was very clean, the kitchenette had everything you needed to prepare and make food if you didn't want to eat out all the time. The bedroom and bathroom were upstairs, the bed was very comfortable and the shutters made the room dark so sleeping was great.
The upstairs is via a metal narrow staircase and if you have any mobility problems this would be an issue. You are able to access upstairs from an external door on the 6th floor which was very handy for cases. The outside terrace was a great addition and one we liked to use for a few hours late afternoon, the furniture out here is very tired and not comfortable, this could do with updating. The bathroom could also do with updating. These are minor observations and purely my opinion. Communication with the host was very good.
