We had a wonderful time in Madrid. Soraya's apartment is a very good choice if you want to have everything near you. Metro, city tour bus, shopping area, restaurants, authentic market place and many of the must-see locations in the city are within some minutes of walking distance. The apartment itself is in a pedestrian zone, looks just like a new one, equipped with everything you might need, feels like home. Absolutely recommended!
Although the area is very busy with people passing around Plaza Mayor, for us it was not disturbing at all.
Soraya and her husband Zoran are very friendly and helpful, not just with the apartment but by giving any tips and hints for basically anything, very nice people. As a bonus, you have to visit their Creperia next door, a culinar temptation.
