We have been to Madrid many times and usually stay in a hotel. This time, because we needed two bedrooms, we decided to try our first Airbnb because it worked out much better value. For this purpose it was perfect, being well located for the attractions in Madrid and the Sol metro station. Melvin responds quickly in Spanish or English to any queries. When we arrived we were met by his colleague and the apartment was clean. The apartment was as described, but as several others have said, it is very small. There is a two seater sofa only and this is situated in the entrance hallway as there is no living room or dining area. For us this did not matter as even in a hotel we always eat all our meals out and we only came back late each evening so straight to bed. The shower worked well, but we did find the requirement to put dirty toilet paper in the bin a little gross for our taste. We didn't really use the kitchen, only to keep a few things in the fridge, but it seemed modern. The main issue we had was noise from neighbours. This is the middle apartment of three tourist apartments with no outlook to the street. We had neighbours on both sides and the walls were so thin we could hear all their conversations and the loud snoring! We bought ear plugs for the second night. Overall we had a good time in Madrid and enjoyed our four nights in this good value apartment.
