Maria's apartment is in an excellent location, close to everything (shops, restaurants, bars, sights) and just a couple of minutes from Gran Via. Yet it's very quiet at nights. The rooms are spacious and the apartment can comfortably accommodate 4 persons. It has a nice living room and a dining area. The lift did not work for some reasons but it was not a problem to climb up to the 3rd floor. I would certainly recommend the apartment to anybody who wants to stay in the centre of Madrid.
