Location is awesome! La Latina is a fun and culturally rich neighborhood and I really felt immersed since most of the locals didn’t speak English and there weren’t many tourists around. However, communication with the host was poor. I asked to drop my bags off prior to check in at 1500 since we were going on a walking tour at 1530. I messaged multiple times and had to call before getting a response the same afternoon of check in. I’m not sure if the language barrier contributed to the poor communication.
Instructions on Airbnb only say lock box but it was actually the cleaners who let us in. We dropped our bags off at 1445 and the cleaners said that we could come back in 30 mins, which makes me feel like they do a cursory job. The duvet was not in a cover and it didn’t feel like the sheets were changed. Overall, we just needed a place to sleep and spent most of our time exploring Madrid. I don’t think I would rebook this same listing.
