This air bnb set very minimum standards for what I expected to be air bnb “plus”. While the location was prime in Madrid’s trendy Malasaña neighborhood, we stayed two nights and we not comfortable. All finishes were as they appeared in pictures, but were very basic in-person. When we arrived, the heat was not on and took all day to warm the apartment. The building itself has no heat on the interior. The tile floors were very cold. We asked for blankets twice and hosts did not bring them, instead they insisted the heat would work. Which it did eventually, however we would have been more comfortable with blankets on the beds. The linens were very thin, with only one mattress cover under the fitted sheet on one bed. The other bed was missing a mattress cover entirely. Both beds were extremely firm. There was only a thin blanket on top of the top sheet. The first morning, there was no hot water in the showers. Given how cold it was outside, these conditions made us very uncomfortable. Perhaps these problems would not occur in the summertime. I cannot recommend this air bnb for fall/winter stays.
Hallway noise can also be heard from the bedrooms. Overall, the apartment was very clean, however they have a strange rule to not use towels to remove makeup otherwise they will charge you 5-10 euro. The towels were very thin.
Aside from location, this air bnb was very disappointing.
