PLEASE Read Before Booking!
You will be staying in the home of Luis and Nacho and they are amazing and kind and lovely. They offered me beer and coffee whenever I wanted and they even did my laundry for free the last day!
The location is wonderful and close to Plaza de España and the Royal Palace.
Some thing to know before staying here:
1. The room is an awesomely lit cellar but for this reason it has holes leading up to the living room. It also had no fully closing door. At all. It is underneath the living room and has a stairwell leading to it. Therefore, anything you’re doing in the room, bathroom, or shower (remember no doors) can be heard in the living room and visa versa.
2. They have a cat (in case you’re allergic)
3. They are Very Strict about having guests in the apartment. If a person enters this apartment you need to have their passport on file and pay for an extra person. My stay was 5 nights and so it cost me an extra €130 to have my local friend come over and hang out. After paying she just spent the night a few times. I’m finding out that this is the norm for this city even in small hotels just to be aware!
Overall my experience was good but I wouldn’t rebook for the price
