Hi rcae! If you know the exact street address, you can plug it into http://fotos.qdq.com . I "plugged in" the street you mentioned and you can see it in photos HERE .

I don't know much about this zone, but it is nice, normal, but pretty far from the old city center. It's located about halfway between Plaza de Cuzco & Plaza de Lima , a few blocks west of Paseo de la Castellana.

Any madrileños (or others) know if this neighborhood has a good reputation? Good luck, rcae!

Saludos, MadridMan

I work near there, it's a nice area, though not of any historical value. It's close to the shopping areas at Nuevos Ministerios, the footie stadium (of a cruddy, third rate team ), and those two awful crooked towers from 'Día de la Bestia.'
