It’s an interior apartment facing the courtyard so no street noise at all, although noise from other residents (to be expected). I think the listing needs to be updated, as some of the information no longer applies (confirmed by message from the owner), they no longer supply any food for breakfast, and I found the Wi-Fi information to be lacking. No big deal, I am big on communication, that is the only reason I mention lt. I would recommend this apartment and stay here again! It’s a perfect location for Madrid! ##### Mary w.

The neighborhood, Las Letras, is just west of The Prado and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums is a vibrant one with many cafes, tapas bars and restaurants. The apartment is an easy walk-up – on the second floor – but there is also a lift for your arrival and departure with luggage. The generous and well-laid-out space itself is just as pictured on the VRBO site with beautiful hardwood floors, two generous bedrooms with ample closet space, two roomy bathrooms and a smallish but workable kitchen. (Certainly not the smallest kitchen I’ve used in Europe.) We only prepared breakfasts there; but you could cook if you wanted to eat in. It was nice and quiet for sleeping. A washing machine was a welcome plus. Good security locks on the inside of the door. Sol was a responsive host through VRBO and someone met us for check-in, going over all the details of the apartment. All in all, a very nice city apartment; we would certainly stay there again. ##### Janet M.

We walked everywhere and enjoyed all the restaurants that were around the apartment. The apartment was plenty big for the four of us. I loved how they had coffee there for us and someone was waiting for us to let us know what was nearby when we got there. Agar was especially helpful. You are about a block or two from the Prado and Retiro park. Many other neighborhoods nearby are fun to walk through and experience. We didn’t take a cab anywhere. We walked between 5 and 9 miles a day! ##### Jeanine O.

Sol provided a great list of restaurants and bars - not tourist traps, but wonderful spots where she and other locals go. We hit many of her recommendations and were thrilled with all of them.
