This was a gem of a place to stay. I was thrilled with it. Very clean, modern but in an old building. Nice touches. Everything you need for cooking. Great location. Easy walking distance to El Prado and the Reina Sofia museums -- as well as very place else you might want to see.
The neighborhood has lots of places to eat and down by the Lavapie (sp?) metro there's a great supermarket. There was some construction going on in the plaza outside the apartment building, but at night it is quiet. There are also narrow streets so voices do carry, but the windows can be closed and that makes everything quiet. There's air conditioning if you need it.
The hosts' assistant, Arnie, was wonderful and responsive. She was there to greet me and kept in touch, as did Natalie. I felt very "taken care of." Highly recommended.
