We loved our stay. Beautiful apartment and great location. We enjoyed walking southeast and west for great food and lively and less touristy bars. Also central location to sight see Madrid to the north and the park to the east. Being tucked just a few blocks off of a metro station and lively area, the street offered the perfect balance of ambient signs of life and was mainly pretty quiet. We loved it. As an architect, I thoroughly enjoyed the finishes of the apartment and the authentic charm of the building/3rd floor balconies. The lift did not work when we were there, for those who are unable to take the stairs. Kitchen was great to cook in and lovely living areas to enjoy the fabulous apartment.
