Apartment was clean and comfortable. Amazing location near a million places to go out at night. Not far from cultural attractions either. Some limited noise from outside comes in but if you are looking for peace and quiet then Central Madrid is not your spot and I would bet this apartment is quieter than most since it is not on a major street or square. The apartment had plenty of space for a couple. Second bedroom would be fine for kids but the place would be a little tight for two couples.
