The location was ideal for putting us in the heart of the bustling City of Madrid. Easy walking distance to major plazas and museums and art galleries. Tons of shopping and eating opportunities. The street performers added to the fun atmosphere. The flat was small but adequate. There are a few flights of stairs but an elevator for most of the way to the 6th floor and top of the building. It was quiet there with no sounds from other units. Had a washer dryer but could never get it to work properly. The bedroom loft is accessed by a small ladder and has a very low ceiling. Very comfortable but best suited for a small person. The main room has a futon style double bed which serves as a daytime couch. Our host brought our key to us at the airport, and welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some chocolates.
