This apartment is a great value, and I would recommend staying here. The location is great (lots of food, drinks nearby, close to Metro, not too far of walk from tourist sites). Loved the balcony view. Having a washing machine in the apartment was a huge plus. We appreciated little extras like coffee and small breakfast items, and that Odette let us leave our bags in the apartment well after check-out. But, even with the windows closed, the noise from the street is quite loud past midnight even during the week. (This is probably unavoidable if you want to be in a fun location in Madrid). The apartment was comfortable, but was a bit dirty throughout (dirty dishes, trash not taken out, dusty floor). And the host was a little loud in the morning.
