The unit is nicely furnished, with newer furnishings and is centrally located in Madrid right along Grand Via and very convenient to walk to many other sites and subways. When we were booking we were a bit concerned it was on the first floor, however it is actually raised and the bottom of the windows are frosted so your privacy is not compromised. We have been traveling for the last 6 weeks staying in airbnbs all over Spain. This is by far the worst Airbnb host we have ever encountered. The host is not local, so if anything goes wrong it is up to you to take care of it. It became very clear that the guest is just an inconvenience to the host if something goes wrong. At €216 a night we expected a lot more. There is a washer, which was one of our requirements for choosing this airbnb but no drying rack when we inquired we were told that the host would talk to the maids and "work on it" after asking three times we never heard anything from host nor received a rack. We were given one hand towel/ bath towel each and one kitchen towel. When we inquired about an additional hand towel for the bidet, and a second kitchen towel ( for our 6 night stay) we were told that there would be an additional charge. Upon arrival the bathroom sink wasn't draining - when we contacted the host, they suggested we go to the supermarket and buy some drain cleaner. When I said no I am on vacation and not here to fix problems in their apartment. They were again "going to work it". Finally at the end of our second day we were told there would be no plumber until Monday ( 4 days into our stay). We purchased drain cleaner and cleared the drain. We told the host the plumber was not necessary. On Monday the plumber showed up anyway. After spent the better part of an hour working on the sink, he left and we found he had not attached the drain back correctly so water was leaking on floor from the drain. We notified the host at 8 am the next morning and asked here to have him fix it. We also told them we would be gone most of the day. When we returned that evening at 6pm we found him in our unit. He left to go buy a part and eventually finished. Evidently the 10 hours we were gone wasn't enough time to fix his mistake so we were further inconvenienced. That evening, our last night in Spain before an international flight there was no hot water in our unit which continued until we left the next morning. #ColdShower During our ordeal the host took no responsibility for anything and offered no accommodation for any of our issues. Do yourself a favor and book another airbnb this one is an expensive nightmare
