The flat has a great location (very close to El Retiro) and good connectivity to metro. There is a wide variety of grocery stores and restaurants at just a 1 min walk. The building is safe and the doorman very helpful. All house amenities are available. The flat was clean on arrival, perhaps the microwave deserved further cleaning inside. I stayed in this flat for work during 16 days and was very troubled by the noise coming from the restaurant just next door to the house (would go on until 1 am everyday except for Mondays). However, if you intend to visit Madrid for leisure purposes this might probably not be a problem. The host actually returned 10% of the rent given this uncomfortable situation. In conclusion: great place for a short, comfortable stay in Madrid!
