This apartment was exactly like the photos and perfect for our group of three 60-yr old women. The highlights for us were the tiled floors, the view from the window, and the location! We walked to San Miguel market, Giles Chocolate, the Prado, the Reina Sofia, the department stores, Cava Baja for tapas, and the flea market. As others mentioned, if your suitcase is 25+lbs, it's not exactly easy to carry it up the steps. (But carrying it down was much easier!) Also as mentioned by others, you will hear singing and street music from the cafe below which I didn't mind, but others might find bothersome. Agar's availability and communication was perfect. Easy (and earlier than expected) check-in; and always available for our questions within minutes. Great host! Great apartment!
