The apartment was spacious and comfortable, especially as we numbered only two. Location negates the need for a car, as the metro is close on numerous lines, and is two, three stops from almost the entire city centre. We picked the apartment because of its location so no complaint regards city centre living in festival season. Decent ear plugs recommended. We also chose Madrid in August, be warned 44c(+) in any apartment without Air-Con is not for the faint of heart but we managed and hindsight is wonderful but rarely available in advance of the decision. The metro tourist card is worth it and FYI to the mono lingual amongst you, have a pic of the nearest metro station sign on your phone, 5am is not the time to try and give a Madrid Taxi driver your address, no matter how good you think your pronunciation. We recommend this apartment.
