If you are going to Madrid, this is an apartment to stay in. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures posted the website. The beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms are very dark and quiet. If you look at the location on the street, you may imagine that you would hear street noise, but the bedrooms are in the back of the apartment and are very very quiet.
The living room furniture is very functional and for anyone having to do a little work while there (my husband did), the desk is large and has an outlet nearby for laptop charging. Perfect. The sofa and chairs are very comfortable. The TV (which we turned on once) is nice and has good sound and picture quality.
The kitchen is brand new. I loved it, even though the only "cooking" we did was to use the coffee maker every morning (which the host kindly provided us with enough coffee for the first few days without having to run to the store immediately upon arrival!). The kitchen table seats 4 adults very comfortably.
The BEST things I can share about this apartment are: the host is terrific, the apartment is very clean and comfortable AND the location can not be beaten. It is a 4 minute walk to Plaza de Santa Ana and 8 to Plaza Mayor. Easy walk to Puerta del Sol and major shopping. In the opposite direction, another easy walk to Atocha train station (maybe 3/4 mile). There are loads of tapas bars and restaurants in the area for you to choose from. If you prefer not to walk, there is a taxi stand that is a 2 minute walk from the apartment. The location is super safe.
I would 100% stay again. We are all so glad we chose this apartment for our Madrid stay (4 nights). Excellent choice!! Thank you to Alfonso and Enrique for allowing to use this wonderful apartment.
