Location is perfect; yards away from the Lavapies Metro station, a 24 hour Carrefour Supermarket, a taxi stand and a number of really good restaurants like Casa de Asturias, Portomarin and many others. You are one stop away by metro from Puerta del Sol and can easily walk to the Rastro, Museo Reina Sofia, Estacion de Atocha, Museo del Prado and Parque del Retiro. Sleep quality was very good as was the size of the apartment which is big by Madrid standards even as there was some construction work that took up some space. The place is well equipped with everything you might find in an apartment in NY except it does not have a clothe dryer, but that is the norm in Spain. Communication with Jorge was fast and accurate. The owners are a pleasure to deal with. As it has been reported by others, the main door leads directly to the street so it can be a bit noisy at times like when the garbage is picked up, but I had no problem sleeping so I feel noise is not really a big problem overall. This is a very good choice for staying in Madrid and I would certainly go back in the future.
