Let me start by saying that the picture doesn't give the experience full justice. It is a simple place but it has everything that you will need - everything for cooking, cleaning and most importantly incredibly fast wifi - if you need to do online school or work video calls. Bed is comfy and there are a lot of pillows if you are like me and need to be ensconced in a cocoon of pillows. The place is central but still quiet. it's off gran via so perfect if you need to do some retail shopping and just across the street from el corte ingles that will have everything you need. It's the most practical choice and im glad i stayed here. I stayed in a fancier airbnb before this but would prefer to stay in this one if i were to return. PS: it is true the backstreet is slightly dodgy (but still safe to walk i did so myself) so the simple solution is just not to pass there if you are uncomfortable seeing a prostitute or two -- they were harmless and didnt mind me one bit.
