Really enjoyed our stay and the location is excellent. The life and the centre of the city is up past Lavapies so that's the direction to walk if you have just arrived and want to visit a few bars for tapas etc. There is also a 24hour supermarket there for emergencies. Lavapies is about 4 mins walk away max. Everyone near to the apartment were helpful and friendly. The apartment is quirky and fun to stay in. Excellent use of space. Really served us well and we would stay there again, if we visit Madrid, which we also really enjoyed.
