Marta & Arturo's apartment very well equipped and ideal for long stays.
Positives:
* pictures are accurate, apartment is spacious with lots of shelves & drawers
* they supplied the essentials for the house (trash bags, pods for the dishwasher, dish detergent, soap, etc)
* kitchen is well equipped and perfect for cooking - lots of pots & pans in different sizes, utensils, plates, bowls, glasses, etc.
* washer, dishwasher & full size fridge are great for long stays
*outdoor space is nice
* second bathroom downstairs is very convenient
* internet is fast, it is great for 2 people working and taking video calls at the same time
* on a 10 -15 minute walk radius there is a decent selection of supermarkets
* 10 - minute walk to the Parque de la Quinta de los Molinos
* within a 10 minute walk you have 2 different metro lines ( 5 & 7), metros are. frequent and the metro network is great in Madrid; it takes about 40 minutes to get to city center, so depending why you are in Madrid you may want to take that into account
Not so great:
* we got only one set of keys and the set was missing the key to the entrance of the complex. While 99% of the time the door is open and the doorman is there, we also had to wait one time for 10 minutes
* the set of keys doesn't come with a key fob for the entrance to the building and the key for the entrance is finicky and hard to operate
*the apartment next door is a swing dance school Blanco y Negros Studio that has classes from 6 to 9 or 10 pm every week night, you can hear the same song over and over again and there is commotion on the hallway people coming in and out
*the neighbor upstairs smokes and ashes & cigarette buds can be found in the outdoor space and on the canopy of the outdoor space; one time around 23:00 he dropped the lighter and it sounded like somebody was scaling up the balcony (so that scared us a little since it was super loud due to the fact that the balcony is all metal)
*the closet door on the left side is off tracks and not usable (I did message the owners about it); it was fine for us since there is plenty of other space otherwise
