The location was a bit far from the center of madrid. The room was noisy from outside traffic and people make alot of noise in Madrid at night and early morning, lucky we had ear plugs with us or we would not have been able to sleep. The balcony door wasn't working well and it's too noisy to sit out there anyway. The apartment was sufficient for what we needed. There was only spanish TV channels which was not good since we are from Canada and would have liked a couple of english channels. The cleanliness of apartment was not good, it was not up to our standard. The host was not there but his cousin was and she was very nice and helpful.
