trying to leave a fair and honest review because this Airbnb may not be the right fit for everyone. First off the location is great for shopping, many stores like zara etc, and close to transit. Almost feels like Times Square with its street night life. However if you are a light sleeper this place won’t be great for you as the streets below get very noisy during the weekend. There is a door screen closing the window to the room that helps a bit though. I personally wasn’t as affected because I was so tired after many busy days. The bed itself is a bit on the firmer side but I slept fine, no aches. For the bathroom situation, you might be sharing it with two other rooms so sometimes you may get stuck waiting on someone to be done using it, but I always had hot water for showers. Still usually when we need to the bathroom it was available for us. One of my biggest troubles though was the front door, I always had difficulty opening it, you get used to it eventually but someone that has a wrist injury or arthritis may still struggle.
Also when you leave you have to essentially slam it close so you always hear when someone is coming or going as well.
Still for about US$50 a night you literally cannot beat this place. Location is perfect for exploring the city and it’s right next to the El Corte Inglés department store! I would definitely stay here again if I was in Madrid.
