This was my first Airbnb experience and it turned out to be a great choice. The location in El Central barrio could not be better. You can walk to most of the sights and experiences that you see in the guide books. To those not within walking distance you can reach them by Madrid’s excellent Metro system. A station is only a couple of blocks away. The Renfee train station is only three stops away. A supermarket is a five minute walk.
The exterior of the building is a bit of a turnoff but don’t let that fool you. Inside is a bright, cheery and very clean apartment that is well equipped for all of your needs, including a washer. The furnishings are a bit basic but certainly fine enough. The beds were comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the small balcony with space for two to sit around a small table and sip a glass of wine. If you must, the balcony is a great place to use your laptop.
Most importantly, Kristian was an attentive host. We had a small problem with the shower stall and it was repaired immediately.
I would definitely return here.
