This apartment does not disappoint, in fact it exceeded our expectations! It looks just as good in real life and is actually even bigger than the photos suggest! The location is perfect - a few metro stops into the centre (we had travel cards which you can load up with single or blocks of 10 journeys), but a lovely peaceful place to come back to and relax. There was some noise with windows open as you would expect from a city, but it was very quiet with everything closed at night. The local area is also great, with supermarkets a few minutes walk away and lots of cafes and restaurants. We went to La Musa (tapas) and Federal (brunch). The Malasana area is great to wander around too. The apartment itself has everything you need, the balconies are a real bonus (amazing views) and Minty Host could not have been more helpful. A perfect place to use as a base but also spend time at in Madrid.
