Beautiful, newly remodeled apartment using all quality materials and lovely interior design. The location is fantastic, a 5 minute walk to the Reina Sofia and lots of great tapas bars and cafes on just a block away in each direction. It's not a super touristy neighborhood either so you feel away from the tourist throngs near Plaza Mayor. There is a 24 hour grocery store too. The neighborhood felt safe. There were bars below that are open till the wee hours and quite busy on the weekends but with the windows closed and the AC on, the apartment is quiet. This place makes you want to quit your job, move to Madrid and rent this apartment. There is also a flamenco studio in the building if you want to drop in and take a class but you don't hear a thing in the apartment.
