Apartment is just as pictured. Everything is in great condition and clean when you arrive. The layout is great for a family or adult couples that want privacy. The master bedroom and bath are very large and luxurious for European standards. By far the nicest accommodations we've had with Airbnb.
The second bedroom and specially second bathroom however, are very modest so if you're splitting this apartment with another couple the one with the second bathroom and bedroom would probably pay less since there's a big difference in size.
The neighborhood is safe and a lot of fun for young people. The nightlife is great and there are people out at all times of the night but you won't hear a peep inside the apartment. It is very very quiet. We enjoyed walking around really late at night and grabbed drinks at a couple of neighborhood bars and felt very safe at all times.
The location of the apartment is great for sightseeing. It's only a 10 mins walk to El Sol and 20 mins max to the heart of Plaza Mayor and the heart of La Latina. After exploring Madrid for a few days I could not imagine a better location for our needs.
Communication with Gigi was a very pleasant experience from beginning to end. She replied to emails very quickly, was very helpful during check in was full of suggestions. She was also very accompanying to let us check out an hour late on our departure date.
Overall a wonderful Airbnb experience and one of the nicest apartments we've rented. Fully recommend without any hesitations.
