This apartment has an excellent location that is close to many places to eat, shop, drink, etc. However, it was also very quiet we got very little street noise. The pictures are accurate--the apartment is nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable (although the pillows were rather hard). There is a nice big table in the kitchen/living area. The shower was very nice with good water pressure and a double shower head. The stairs into the apartment are a little steep, but there are only about 10 of them. I would stay here again if in Madrid.
