We enjoyed our week in Madrid very much. In terms of this Airbnb, these are our thoughts:
Pros
-fantastic location - were able to walk everywhere from here, and also great places to go jogging
-great communication and especially flexibility as we let Elisa know we did not make our connecting flight into Madrid. She was very gracious and was there when we finally arrived to let us in and make sure the keys worked etc.
-very quiet, especially the bedroom in the back of the building
-apartment was very clean and sheets were nicely ironed
-washing machine worked great and Elisa brought us laundry detergent when we realized there was not any in the flat
-kitchen was small but functional (we just prepared cold breakfasts in the morning). It has a microwave, electric kettle, toaster, etc.
-shower has good water pressure and the bathroom could not have been tinier but it worked
-heating worked great!
-we didn’t use the outside terrace because it was winter but that would have been a nice feature
Cons
-mattress was not very comfortable
-overall, while the living room and bedroom were spacious the apartment felt sterile. The living room in particular wasn’t as welcoming as some places we have stayed.
