“Antonio’s” place is perfectly located in Madrid; clean; and in a charming building. Check-in and communication with Antonio was quick and easy. He also kindly extended our check-out time to 3pm, although as I had an evening flight he advised a baggage storage store for the remaining hours...
Otherwise, if you’re considering this apartment, please note that it is one of several (or maybe many more) owned and operated as a business. The apartment is also perfectly fine (although there is no window in the bedroom). But it’s not set up as a space where someone would actually be living, as it has only been (apparently) an AirBnB rental. Various “typical” things were not there as a result — e.g, towels/potholders in the kitchen; a teapot; most things you would want for anything other than basic cooking. If you’re a college student or traveling to party, it probably wouldn’t matter to you...if you’re a couple like we were, it might or might not matter. (If we were staying more than a few days, a different flat would have been better.
On the last day, the hot water ran out; and the internet broke the night before we left, and wasn’t fixed before we left. I was only using the internet on WiFi, and the internet router is shared with other apartments (not in the apartment itself), so it was a bit problematic...but again, really not a serious issue in an overall positive experience.
Again, this was a good stay, and I’ve rated it 4/5 stars! But I do feel a responsibility to other AirBnB-ers to explain how it was a bit different than expected. My review focuses on a few of the downsides, as the apartment might compare less favorably than some, if you are looking for a more “home-like” stay in Madrid.
