The inside of the apartment was nice and clean, with good room and amenities. However, the building it was in was very dirty and run down, and the front door to the building had big dumpsters and a big pile of garbage in front of it. Also, the security lock on the door to the building never locked after the first day we were there. The area of town was not the greatest, with far fewer cafes and restaurants nearby. If you are looking to do tourist type activities, you would be better off staying a little further south, closer to where all the sites are (Royal Palace, Retiro Park, restaurants, cafes, etc). There was a metro station very close to this apartment, which you can take to get to these areas, but being closer and within walking distance, with more amentities around would have been our preference. It depends on what you will be doing when you're there. To reiterate though, the apartment itself was nice and comfortable.
