Please read ENTIRE review. The hosts were great! The apartment was acceptably furnished for a VRBO. We like to take a VRBO as a 'base camp', then tour the city where we rent and take 1 to 3-day trips elsewhere. This location was great for touring around Madrid. BUT!!!! While the apartment is convenient, it is located above a bar that regularly plays loud music until 1, 2 or 3 in the morning. Our last night the music did not stop until 5am!!!!! There is also a disco that plays until 1 or 2, a short distance away. Despite having double windows and a shutter in the bedroom the music made it difficult to sleep. Overall, this unit is great for 2-3 nights. After that the bed really gets uncomfortable and the music requires earplugs to sleep.

Although the small apartment is exactly as described the location does have a lot of noise at night. Did not bother me and we were aware from previous reviews. It is not as bad if you completely close all windows but if you need silence to sleep this location is not for you. The communication with the host is excellent however the local company (stayinflat) uses a sophisticated system of online keys to open the building as well as the (two) doors to access the apartment. If you rely on wifi and don’t have an international phone plan or you are not good at technology go somewhere else or you will be calling your host from the apartment frequently.

Comfortable flat in a very central area, within close walking distance of Sol. All the basic amenities for a short stay. Ideal for all the bars / restaurants around, which tend to be popular until late at night!

La ubicación es excelente. El apartamento limpio, con todo lo necesario. Yolanda muy diligente, responde y soluciona rápido. Gabriel y Wanda

Just as it appears, and in a great location

Óptima localização!Apesar do barulho exterior o apartamento tem ótimo isolamento acústico.

Our one-month stay was our best vacation ever! Starting with Yolanda, our wonderful host, our spectacular location in Barrio de Las Letras, two blocks from El Sol (Madrid transportation hub), one block to Plaza Santa Ana. Too many Tapas bars and Restaurants to count right on our door! We enjoyed the best that Madrid has to offer (and it has a lot!!). Best location. Best host. Great apartment, luminous, spacious, excellent AC. We are already planning to be back for a longer stay next year! See you soon, Yolanda!

We have rented many times before thru VRBO and never had a bad experience but this time a new company “ Stop in flat” became involved and it was awful. The apartment was not up to the standards of VRBO. The Owner didn’t refund the deposit even though we didn’t do anything wrong to validate her refusal. Stop in flat is not a good partner of your excellent company.
