The location of the apartment was very central, near several restaurants, shopping and historical sites of Madrid. The host was very accommodating for our arrival times, sending his assistant to provide keys, even allowing for slight changes due to travel times. He even provided a bottle of wine, which we were unable to taste, but a nice touch regardless. The apartment is located in an older building typical of the neighborhood, there is an elevator (and would recommend as the stairs can be tricky due to age of wood). The rooms were large and the bed was acceptable. The bathrooms were a little small but the water was warm and got the job done.

Our biggest challenge was the air conditioner which has one remote for all 4 units in all bedrooms and it required maintenance to come and turn on (likely it was a user error, but would suggest instructions or removing buttons that can cause errors on a hot Madrid summer day).

Overall if you need a place to call home for a night, near sites like the Palace or Opera, this might be a good choice for one or two couples.
