Pros:
- Emilio and the team that runs this apartment, ensure perfect and quick communication and check in. This is a big advantage!
- The Team will give you good tips on where to eat in Madrid and what areas are a MUST to visit, I would stick to these recommendations (about Chueca restaurant especially)
- The rooms, kitchen and bathroom are clean
- If you are looking for central location and some views, than this is the place to be
Cons:
- The aparment is shabby: the carpets in the living room are worn out and the sofa has stains
- For winter period it is really cold, esp. at night it doesn't feel confortable, though I had left the A/C on at +30 for the whole day
- The doorway had bad smells all the time
- The area around is too crowded and dirty, but this is part of the deal if you are staying in Madrid downtown.
- I found the apartment overpriced for what I got (it's not worth 100 Euro/night I paid), as I look at the prices for later period I see 60 Euro, which would be fare, I think
- I think it would be good to check the spoons and knives with the cleaning service.
