Pablo's stay was wonderful. If you want to be in the center of Madrid within walking distance of all the shopping areas, as well as bars and restaurants, you need to book this Airbnb. You can't beat the view either - absolutely amazing when you wake up in the morning to the slight breeze from the balcony doors. First off, let me recommend this place only if you are staying a short period of time, perhaps several days. It is a small apartment and although there was a cooking stove, being that it is a small space and limited resources in kitchen storage, I would only use the cooking area for small meals, like eggs for breakfast. Otherwise, there are so many areas to eat in the area for less than 2 euros that cooking would hinder your time in exploring the city. Check-in was smooth and easy and the apartment complex was easy to find - right next to McDonalds. I was in contact with Pablo via Whatsapp and was met by his assistance immediately upon arrival. The basic necessities were included - kitchen, cooking stove, pan, utensils, table for eating, bathroom, shower, storage closet, bed, balcony. The only downside for me (which isn't a big deal) was a small garbage can. One thing we didn't know (again, not a big deal) was that at night, the front gates lock so in order to get out of the building, there is a button on the right side of the entrance you have to hit to unlock the gates. Otherwise, to open the gates at night, you are provided with a key, as well as one for the studio. A security guard is on duty during the day. The apartment itself was quiet and never was loud. Even though it is located on a major street, I never had trouble falling asleep. Again, walking distance to all your needs. We walked everywhere. Maximum 20 minutes to bars and restaurants. The balcony is enough to stand and see the view but not for eating or placing chairs or a table. Overall, this place met our needs and we had a great experience.
