This is a great little apartment in a non-touristy part of town which is about a 15 minute walk to the Royal Palace and a 25 min direct bus ride to the Prado. It’s in very good condition and clean. It is small -- perfect for one person. It has good natural light if not a view. The only problem is if you are a light sleeper is that the walls are thin and immediate neighbors are noisy especially late at night and sometimes early in the morning. The other thing to note Is that the keys to the apartment and the apartment building are glitchy and it takes a bit of maneuvering to get the doors open. Also there are no cooking ingredients at all - i.e. no salt/pepper, sugar or oil so keep that in mind if you plan to stay for more than a few days. Communication with the host, even with my limited Spanish, was excellent and she checked in to make sure all was well.
