Germans place is located in the perfect place, right next to Gran Via station, although it could sometimes be a little loud- but i didn’t really mind that.
My room was a good size and the shared living area is lovely and spacious.
The kitchen is a good size for cooking etc and provides everything you need to cook your dinners, including spices etc. Despite the stain on the ceiling, but that didn’t really effect the apartment.
There’s a lot of storage space in the cupboards and fridge sections, but the oven is microwave-like and takes ages to cook things. Washing machine and drying racks are also in use.
Bathrooms are alright, not the cleanest. it has two bathrooms, one smaller with a shower and a toilet and the other, bigger one, with a bath/shower and a toilet. The smaller one with the walk in shower was dirty, like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time and held a lot of black dirt in the corners and on the walls. Toilet roll was hardly ever provided and neither was kitchen roll, and it was only replaced by German when we had gone without tissue for a long time.
My bedroom was overall pretty clean, the fan provided was useless in the heat so i bought my own. However, it was all quite dusty and the ceiling frames held a lot of clumps of dust that would just fall down onto my bed etc. You can lock the bedroom from the inside but not from the outside.
German was really nice and communicative, always checking on whatsapp to see if you needed anything or if he could be of help. Although, he was unhappy to have anyone else in the flat besides you, which would be understandable if you were having multiple guests over and it was in the contract/listing, however it wasn’t. One of the people in the flat tried to bring a friend over and was told instantly he could not have anyone round due to “covid rules”, despite it not being part of covid restrictions in Spain. Also, considering you would be living there for a over a month, it’s a bit ridiculous to expect people not to want to have a friend over, if you are basically living there.
