We checked in late, and after some online paperwork got an online key access to get into the door. This provided us with flexible access to the apartment, which is very much in the heart of Madrid’s night time district.
There are numerous good restaurants and bars in the direct vicinity. The digital key did prove to have some difficulties: on the second night the key stopped working on all our devices, which caused us to be locked out of the room for the night. The phone numbers we were provided with were either not serviced at that hour, or had a rapidly spoken Spanish menu with numerous inaccessible backup numbers. This is something to reckon with.
Marco answered us in the morning via Airbnb and then met with a technician who manually let us in. In the end all was well, but it was stressful in the night time. Luckily the Reina Victoria Hotel around the corner has wonderful beds and a 24/7 reception!
