pro:
+ Fotos show the real studio. It has a simple but modern interior.
+ location is close to city center, about 10-20min waking distance (depending on where you go). street is quiet.
+ easy check-out (drop the keys in a box)
+ comfortable bed
+ early check-in was possible
+ good connection to airport. Express bus stops at the Atocha station, which is close.
Con:
- One large apartment was subdivided into 6 (very small) studios. So it was like a hostel feeling. Although the street is quiet and you don’t hear any noise from the traffic, you can hear pretty much everything from the other 5 studios. The walls are so thin that you can hear every single word from people talking in the next studios (which does not have to be very loud). You can expect to wake up when somebody comes home late.
- Since the studio is so small the noise oft he fridge is disturbing, because it is very close to the bed.
- Contrary to the description the host was unfortunately not available and did not response to my messages and calls (phone seemed to be off) when we arrived at the building at the arranged time. In fact we were waiting for 20min outside (in the rain) until the cleaning lady instead of the host appeared to let us drop our bags.
- There was a terrible smell in the studio, which did not disappear for the whole stay. Like someone burnt something in the studio before us.
- Price definitely much too high for what you get.
