This was the perfect place for us on our third extended stay in Madrid. The neighborhood is not full of tourists but convenient to wherever you might want to go in the city. The apartment is good-sized, with separate kitchen, living room, and bedroom. It was very clean and well-stocked with the essentials. There is no elevator, which was not a problem for us, but keep in mind that you need to carry your suit case up three floors. Also note that "quiet" is relative - there is little traffic noise, but there is a vibrant neighborhood bar on the corner and you will hear people in the street until the early morning hours. The noise is not rowdy drunks and if you are used to city life, you will appreciate that "quiet" is a perfectly acceptable modifier to use.

We walked to the apartment from Atocha station after arriving on the airport train. It is less than a half hour walk and there are a number of ways to go. We like winding our way through the less traveled streets and small neighborhoods. We were met by the very nice housekeeper, who only speaks Spanish but we learned everything we needed to know. David timely communicated with us by e-mail and message.

We enjoyed staying in the apartment and expect to return soon.
