This apartment is perfictally situated for exploring Madrid, right in the middle of the city. I thought it might be noisy but the windows cancel out nearly all noise and once the blinds are down the appartment is completly dark, which is great as the square it faces is bright 24 hours. The views are also amazing, the sun sets behind the mountains in the distance and you get front row seats to watch this beautiful show. Check in and check out was efficient and easy. I'd highly recommend this appartment.
