This well-distributed but compact apartment offers sufficient space for a family of 3 to 5 for short to medium stays. It is well kept and has several key assets (e.g., 2 toilets/showers, 2.5 bedrooms, a washing machine). The location—next to Moncloa/Parque del Oeste/Casa de Campo—means one can get anywhere in Madrid or to the immediate North/West very easily. The area is very lively (lots of students), with a slew of restaurants/bars across a variety of price ranges; the noise plummets around midnight. We loved the location; not everyone will. The apartment has two fans; it may need more with global warming. The kitchen is functional with a good old-style expresso machine, sizable fridge and solid stove; the cups/plates/pans could be upgraded. Alicia is a responsive host.
