I had booked this apartment because of the positive reviews. However, they are totally misleading and I wonder how they were written given the bad state of the flat. Although the location just north of the Plaza de España is very good, the apartment itself needs serious maintenance. Most of all, it needs a thorough cleaning. There was dust and hair everywhere, and the lack of a vacuum cleaner made it impossible to keep things tidy. The apartment has a lot of potential. But fully overpriced as it is, it clearly functions as a cash cow. This is very unfortunate given its potential. The bed mattress is saggy and makes for rather bad sleeping. The sofa in the living area, which is rather uncomfortable cannot be used as a sleeping option, unless for a small kid. It is very short and adults would have their feet and lower legs dangling out. The TV does not work at all, which was rather unfortunate. I've been renting apartments through Airbnb on 4 continents since 2012. This was the worst!
