Melvin’s apartment is in a great location, about 15-20 minutes walking distance from most sightseeing spots in Madrid. He was a few minutes late to check in even though we were in communication with him the whole time. There are three doors to get into the apartment and while he was able to easily open to main doors we had a lot of difficulty with it. The door to get into the apartment itself locks from the outside which is nice but the additional lock (latch) inside was jammed and I had difficulty closing it which didn’t make us feel very comfortable. Madrid was extremely hot this summer which we expected but the listing says Air Conditioning is available which it wasn’t. Melvin said he unit only works for warm air in the winter. This was a disappointment for us since all we had were three fans and we couldn’t keep the windows open at night since it got very loud because of the bars downstairs. We expected loud sounds because it’s the middle of Madrid but it did affect our sleep. Melvin was very helpful with getting us a taxi to the airport which we appreciated. It was a nice & clean location overall but maybe not for a family.
