Pros:
- Amazing location, as advertised; super central and walkable.
- Very reasonable rate
- Excellent communication regarding check-in
Cons:
- Pictures are pretty misleading; the unit is dingier than expected, quite dark, and a bit dated
- Less than great communication regarding the wi-fi; I wasn’t given any information regarding the network and password upon check-in and when I followed up, I was sent a screen shot of the back of a modem / router with a network and password that simply did not exist in the unit; I followed up in a timely manner a few times and it took a few hours of slower communication and unclear messages until the host finally clarified I needed it to disregard the original information provided and use the network and password on the modem / router in the unit. This was unfortunate and negatively affected my stay, as I lost a few valuable working hours as a result.
- No flexibility regarding the storage or bags after check out; this is something a number of other Air BnBs I’ve stayed at have offered
Overall, generally good communication (minus the WiFi), an OK place for the money if you’re not planning on spending much if any time in the unit. I’ll personally stay elsewhere next time I’m in Madrid.
