The property is well located for walking or public transportation to all the major sites and historic areas of Madrid. Being on the first floor and on a busy square, there were times when it was noisy. Most important, there were homeless persons and vagrant individuales frequently in the square and sleeping there. However, it did not seem overtly threatening and the police patrolled frequently. The apartment needs more thorough cleaning and above all newer furniture. Some great pros are the supermarket a few yards away, the metro station right there, a nice ice cream shop and a good pastry shop, and a general lively outdoor area with cafes and eateries enjoyed by locals.
