The property was in the perfect spot to walk everywhere!! We loved walking out the front door to find lots of restaurants, bars and shopping. The apartment was great for 5 people.
The location could not have been more perfect for us - centrally located and walking distance from everything we wanted to do. And the owner was helpful and responsive when we had questions.The apartment itself felt run down - there was broken furniture, and space heaters that we couldn't get to work (it was very cold when we visited). The pictures made it seem like it would be a lot nicer.
The location was great. The host was easy to work with and made the check in really easy. There is a really bad smell in there like a cat litter box. I think it was from some construction down stairs. We finally got used to it but the first impression is not a good one. Bedding was clean but the floors werenât. There are also bugs. Like ants that are all over the unit. The bug spray only slightly slowed them down. The location is a big bonus though. You basically have to take the good with the bad.
This is the first negative review we have ever done. We could not stay due to the excessive amount of cleaning spray that was sprayed throughout the apartment. We arrived at 3 but they were still cleaning. There was no cross ventilation due to one tiny window so even with the door open for an hour we could not breathe the air as it was making us sick. The whole place felt unhealthy. The host did not come to check it out but agreed to refund all but one nightâs payment so we rented another VRBO. The host reneged the next day. VRBO said they could not help even seeing the text chain from the host agreeing to the refund. They also didnât refund the cleaning fee even though we didnât stay. Unethical and horrible. We are considering small claims court for what was not provided.
We found this property to be exceptionally well-located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore and enjoy the local attractions. The master bedroom is large and comfortable, and the living room is cozy and modern.
However, there were a couple of drawbacks. The stove top coffee maker was not usable as it couldnât be heated on the induction stove. Additionally, the rooms in the basement were quite humid, with some mold noticed in the shower, which was a bit concerning. Another thing to note is that the property has very few windows, which affected the natural lighting.
Despite these issues, we had an enjoyable stay. The convenience of the location and the comfort of the main living areas were definite highlights.
Very good communication with the host. Excellent location in the middle of the Center of Madrid. The only thing to mention is the missing of daylight because most of the appt is in the Souterrain. One shower should be renewed.
Would recommend this appt for a shorttrip.
