The apartment was clean and in a convenient location to access various parts of the beautiful city of Madrid. Just by nature of the structure of the building, you are able to hear when other guests or residents enter and exit, but it was not a problem. You are also right next to a couple of restaurants, so the odor of food does enter the apartment.
I traveled with my husband and two year old child, but if I had been alone with my child I may not have felt as comfortable entering the building at night just because of the location. I didn’t, however, feel unsafe at any time. It just was not in a brightly lit tourist area encouraging night exploration.
I think it’s truly a wonderful space for a couple or singles looking to enjoy Madrid. If you want an authentic experience in a nicely decorated apartment with great hosts, you should look into staying here!
