A very nice decorated apartment close to major attractions of Madrid (e.g. Prado, Sofia, Retiro, botanical garden, Atocha train station). A safe and good neighbourhood. The building is in a small street, with more traffic than you would expect. There is a construction site nearby and a bar, you’ll hear these too. But your in a big city, compared to other streets its ok and if you take these things in account you will enjoy your stay
