Just superb. Like all the other reviews, as per the pics. Brilliant location with a short walk to the metro, Gran Via shopping, galleries, opera. The view is actually hard to believe even when you are looking at it. Just extraordinary. Inside, everything you need, cosy (was here in winter) and homely. I was here by myself and felt safe even coming home alone in the evening - a very safe area. It is one of the quietest stays I have ever had in a major city. This is thanks to the double glazing and the set-back from what are already two very quiet streets. On weekends you can hear street performers and sometimes the marching band from the Palace but that adds to the atmosphere. I'll stop there, I could go on. Thanks so much to the warm friendly hosts. I feel lucky to have stayed here!
