Alicia’s apartment is fantastic. Location is great; tourist attractions like the Prado, Royal Palace, Mercado San Miguel, various plazas are all within 15 min walking. There is a metro stop a few steps away and lots of taxis plying Gran Via. There is a grocery store nearby and tons of restaurants. Area is very lively, but apartment is insulated from the noise once the windows are closed. Apartment is clean and has all the essentials you would need. Alicia was also very accommodating with the check-in and check-out times.
