The apartment is spacious, clean and bright. The views of the Puerta del Sol Plaza are spectacular. Please note that the plaza is under re-construction and this is likely to last until spring of 2023, so it currently does not look pretty and there is a lot of construction noise. The windows are nice and help with the construction noise, but are no match for the pumping music that gets played sometimes—though we did not mind the music as much as the construction noise, and the music ended at midnight. The hosts requested our passports via email. This is not safe—other hosts use a secure app for this. The apartment is a great combination of old style, but completely new. The bathroom is spacious and the shower has great pressure and plenty of water. There is even a towel warmer, which can be helpful for drying clothes, too. There was no oil or pepper as advertised, but there are plenty of stores nearby and lots of restaurants. The work area is described correctly and works well. The bedrooms have an LED strip that glows at night and which you can’t turn off, which is a bit of a bummer. However, the bed is quite comfortable. Overall, a great experience, and it will be even better once the plaza re-construction is completed.
