The apartment is conveniently located near Metro Goya, a quick trip to Puerta del Sol, the Retiro, the Thyssen and the Prado Museum. It is an upscale neighborhood near upscale shopping. Close to supermarket (Carrefour), wonderful bakery café just steps away. It is an older building (1970s). Very safe. Doorman on duty. Furniture is comfortable. One drawback is noise from glass recycling bins outside the bedroom window. Be aware that the entrance to the shower is tight - just big enough for average to small people. If you are quite large (obese) you will have difficulty.
