My wife and I and our two teenagers absolutely loved this apartment. It is in a fantastic location, just a 30-second walk from Plaza Mayor. When we arrived, we weren't sure whether we were in the right place, since the entrance is just a double set of old wooden doors opening onto a tiny one-way street. However, the security doors open to a beautiful lobby and we were instantly pleased. The apartment is up one flight of stairs. (There is an elevator, but it does not land exactly at the floor level of the apartment. As a result, this would not be a place to stay for someone in a wheelchair or who had difficulty climbing stairs.) The owner's sister met us at the apartment on time, as promised, and was very nice. She showed us all of the features of the apartment and provided many suggestions and tour brochures for our stay in Madrid. The apartment has beautiful and eclectic furnishings and is very comfortable. The dark wood flooring is beautiful too. It has a full kitchen. It has two bedrooms, as well as an alcove off of the dining room with two more beds, so it can easily accommodate six. It has a small clothes washer and dryer, although the dryer had apparently just broken right before our arrival. The living room faces the street, and the bedrooms are tucked in the back, so street noise was not an issue for sleeping. The living room has two built-in air conditioners which work well, but there are only portable A/C's for the back bedrooms. These are noisy but work well. There are two bathrooms, one with a shower/bathtub and the other with just shower. Being so close to Plaza Mayor was perfect, and the closest Metro station is about a 5-minute walk in Plaza del Sol.

Overall, we felt like we "hit a home run" with the apartment. It was comfortable, well-furnished, and in a great location. We would definitely stay here again.
