This is a efficiency apartment that has been updated with new flooring and a modern kitchen and bathroom. There is a nice size wardrobe to hang anything you might have. There is a portable AC unit which makes the blazing hot Madrid summer more bearable, but it is quite noisy. The unit comes with a two person sofa, so it was nice to be able to sit during down time in the apartment. The washing machine came in handy and there is a drying rack in the bathroom. This unit is in the middle of Lavapies which is a mixed neighborhood with very few tourists in sight. That said, Puerta del Sol or Plaza Mayor is only a 10 minute walk. Additionally, no tourist sight in the central core is more than a 25 minute walk. If all else fails, there are two Metro stops very close by. While the apartment itself is well appointed and nice, it is on the inside of the building, so it only has two small windows which are in an enclosed space facing other units. These windows have been treated so no one can see in or out.
