The apartment is beautiful, spacious, bright, well located -and it has a great library of art books and volumes on the history of cultures, which you will not get to enjoy because you are visiting Madrid and you have tons of other things to do. It has not one but two supermarkets nearby (one, and two blocks away). A metro station is two or three blocks away. A five minute walk takes you to the Reina Sofía Museum, and a ten or fifteen minute one to the Prado. The vicinity is quiet. People in a small bar/restaurant situated in front of the department can get chatty, but you never hear them if you are in the bedroom. The apartment has two comfortable bathrooms (one with a shower, another one with a bathtub). The kitchen is spacious and incredibly well equipped. Overall, I rate the apartment with 12 out of 10 points -except for the bedroom, which is the weakest space (8 of 10 points): the mattress was a bit too soft for our taste and the pillows need to be changed. My girlfriend and I had a great time in the apartment and would love to return to it when visiting Madrid again. Ana is a great host, friendly, available, caring. If looking for restaurants for dining out, there are a few on the way to Reina Sofia but a better and more beautiful (albeit maybe noisier) choice is to go to Calle de Moratín/Calle de Santa María, two blocks away on the other side of the avenue that is a block away from the apartment. This avenue has stores for whatever you may need, including very nearby locker rooms for leaving luggage. The pictures give you a very good idea of what the apartment looks like, it is a great place to stay in Madrid -we highly recommend it!!
