Very central apartment near Plaza Mayor and the Mercado de San Miguel. We stayed for several weeks including when the Christmas lights were turned on in Madrid, and it was a great location to be for all of the Christmas activities. We sleep with a white noise machine and did not have any problems with loud noises at night. The property has a lift, which was greatly appreciated and is somewhat uncommon for this area of Madrid. The apartment itself probably hasn't been updated in some years and could use a bit of attention, but we quickly got used to the little quirks. Some aspects of the bed configurations and shower set-up make me more comfortable recommending this for younger guests. For example, I would not recommend it for my parents, but for us it was fine and we enjoyed our stay. The property management company was on time in meeting us on arrival and was good with communications and responded quickly during our stay.
