We arrived towards midnight and Ana met us but we did have to pay the arranged 25€ which is acceptable but if there was a lockbox that could be avoided. Ana barely speaks a word of English and we didn’t know more that an few words in spanish so communication was difficult.
The apt. looks much brighter than it actually is , like it was floodlit for the pictures, and staged a bit….but it was clean and in a convenient location , walking distance to markets, the Prado, and 5 minute walk to the Metro . It felt safe.
We intended to make our own breakfasts but there is only salt provided. Not a drop of olive oil or even black pepper. We also could not figure out how to turn on the stovetop so we couldn’t even make eggs. Instructions would have been very helpful.
There is no kettle either. We only stayed for 2 days so we were overall satisfied with everything else.
