Pros
- Location, right on the big shopping street of Gran Vía, and super close to food and going out in Chueca.
- Check-in is super easy and Orlando is very fast at responding.
Cons
There are quite a lot of cons… the unit didn’t look like the pictures, many things changed about it since those pictures were initially taken. The shower is extremely small; I’m of average height and size and there wasn’t enough room for me to bend down to wash my legs and feet. The lobby was so dirty through our entire stay, and the elevator up to the apartment smelled strongly of urine. The apartment isn’t as big as it looks in the pictures either; the pictures are taken with a wide-angle lens that make it look much bigger than it actually is. Appliances and general unit are very old, and the stove is minimal to say the least. AC is also pretty old, but worked well for our entire stay. Floorboards are super old, loud and creaky as well.
I was excited to stay in this unit with my partner but both of us were pretty disappointed when we entered. We both travel a lot and aren’t high maintenance but this apartment really left more to be desired. An update to furniture and appliances (especially the small
shower), and regular cleaning of the lobby and elevator would make this a better stay! Or at least an update of pictures on the listing to reflect what it actually looks like.
