Thank you, Javier and Bea! We had a good time and your place was exactly what we expected.

If you are looking for luxury, this is not your choice. If you are looking for a moderately priced flat with excellent location and most everyday facilities you can imagine, this place will be just fine.

The place is literally right next to the Puerta del Sol. You have dozens of restaurants and shopping facilities within a minutes walk. Metro/train and bus stops are also less than 100m away. I can't imagine a better location, you don't have to spend extra time to go to places, the places are there all the time.

Considering the location, the place is relatively quiet. During the weekend there was some noise from the street at night, but not much. Church bells can bother some, but that isn't really an issue.

We also have to give credit to the thorough "welcome-package", which made it very easy to arrive. Didn't have to spend time looking for metro- or bus lines, as they we're on the six-page info sheet Javier sent us before the trip. There also huge amounts of info of Madrid at the place. Found a lot of good tips from those.

Thanks, hoping to be back some day
