The apartment was well furnished and we loved the e-key system as well as the communication with the management team. We didn't need to use transit often, though it is nearby, because it was an easy walk to most places we wanted to go. It is close to Gran Via and on a pedestrian street, but most nights it was very loud with drunken passers by into the early hours of the morning which was a downside. Also, the water in the shower was never really hot and didn't last long, but the washer and dryer were very handy for our extended vacation allowing us to pack light. Overall, noise aside, we were satisfied with this property.
