In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
This is a very good university. In fact, even the Spaniard consider it. A very good knowledge of the language (almost native I'd say) is required if you want to take courses in Spanish. I know that they have courses in English but I don't know which ones.

Get to know Madrid before you go and try to improve your Spanish (if you're a native speaker) before you go. I'd definitely recommend this university if asked.
