Overall great value for the price and great for a small group of friends who want to explore the centre of Madrid by foot. The two air-conditioning units were also lifesavers. In what follows some remarks, but they were only minor nuisances and no deal breakers in our opinion.
~~ Communication ~~
Host was very responsive by phone and airbnb messages, but was working with a local agent who we were not able to contact before check-in.
~~ Check-in ~~
Armando was not at the place as was communicated to us by the host and we thus had to wait for 15 minutes. Armando's English is not the best, so when he tried to explain how the washing machine worked we ended up just nodding in confusion. After 4 days we discovered the written instructions on the wall so he could have just showed those to us to begin with.
~~ Cleanliness ~~
The kitchen utensils did not seem clean and the bedding of the sofa bed (flat sheet and duvet) seemed not washed after the last visit.
~~ Location ~~
Close to the city centre, metro stations and a Carrefour. But the neighbourhood and the playground next to the apartment complex were quite shady. We never felt unsafe, but I'd never set food on the playground either. If you walk three minutes to the north or the east it's already more agreeable.
