ONLY FOR SINGLE TRAVELLERS AND/OR PEOPLE ON A REALLY TIGHT BUDGET Worst stay we had in 6 years of regularly Airbnb’ing… Nothing positive? Sure. The neighbourhood Mármoles is a pleasant, ‘no frills’ but authentic thru & thru, typical modern day Spanish urban area; all the other (more picturesque) areas are well within walking distance (we don’t mind strolls of 30-or-more minutes…); there’s the budget-friendly rental price, obviously; and if you take the very expressive way – with a lot of hugs & kisses & ‘lovey-dovey’ & “abrazo! abrazo!” – in which the owner, Inés (she speaks & writes ónly Spanish) welcomes you – at face value, you might feel as if you just found some long-lost family here, that you never even knew of. In that case: do settle in, and feel at ease! But the (whole) place is a disappointment, really. It’s nót a ‘dump’, falling apart; it’s just – almost completely – …inadequate. The ad on Airbnb here suggests quite a lot that turns out to be “a bit of a stretch”… Right from starters in fact, where it says “Gorgeous” – whereas “Basic” would be (múch!) more appropriate… The fact that it suggests that fóur guests could stay here, in 3 (different!) beds, is completely laughable. (It makes you think that this is a quite sizeable place; but please don’t let that fool you… not as a couple a.o., but especially not if you àre actually a travelling party of 3 or 4…) The living room ( = seating space + kitchen) is something like 12 (4 x 3) square metres ( = 130 ft2, approx.) – and that is furniture inclúded. The couch (a 2-and-a-half-seater) isn’t really a couch, but a un-/foldable bed; so it’s pretty uncomfortable… as a couch. The three (…where is that 4th, btw?) kitchen folding chairs are equally unpleasant to sit at. And that’s about it, as far as “making yourself comfortable” is concerned. Apart from going to bed, off course... …Which actually IS quite comfortable – at least we had a couple of decent sleeps on it. Around it, you have about 30 to 40 centimeters (1 to 1.5 ft) of free space to move around, and put a book down or drop some clothes, etc. There’s a tiny night lamp, about a large fist high; unfortunately, without a lamp bulb. The bathroom, right next door, is rather well kept – just a hand shower though; no hook or whatever to attach the sprinkler head to. The kitchen part is fine; well equiped etc. There’s some fruit on the table, as a welcoming present; there’s a beer in the fridge, and some leftovers (pasta, coffe, sugar, salt) from previous guests on the shelves. But after just two days, the place was crawling with ants. And no broom to sweep the floors; only one little kitchen towel (25x25 cm.; 10”x10”…) to whipe the kitchen desk & keep the stuff you use(-d) clean (…which is a rather appropriate way of preventing ants taking...
