Really great apartment. The location is fabulous and the apartment is very comfortable. The host was very accommodating. We arrived before check-in time and he allowed us to leave our luggage at the apartment as the cleaning lady was there. He also had an initial set of provisions in the fridge and a bottle of wine; all of which was great to arrive home to. The windows & blinds really do keep almost all of the noise from down below out, but if you are a light sleeper you might hear some noise, but considering the amount of noise in the square it is amazing how little noise gets through. Highly recommend and my family are looking forward to a return trip to our Madrid home.
