Soraya's apartment is amazing! If you want a central place to call home in Madrid, this is it. You can tour around, take a quick. Real back in your space, tour some more, and eat an amazing meal just steps or blocks away. It's better than the pictures show, so clean and well-equipped. Since thE apartment is in the middle of Madrid, right of Plaza Mayor, there is some street noise. Hey, you are IN THE CITY. However, the shutters keep a good bit of the noise down. Soraya even has a full-sized hairdryer for you (which is a premium in my book)! Soraya is a wonderful host, and even apologized for being 10 minutes late while I waited with a fresh mango juice in her creperia (Mimi's, which I highly recommend as well).
