Andrea’s place is a ideal apartment for first time travelers to Madrid. The location was amazingly close to all the restaurants, bars, the plaza, shopping, and to the market! But please keep reading to find out about bathroom.
Down side to Andrea’s apartment was the air condition. It’s listed as the apartment has air condition. It has one small unit that shuts on and off. We tried everything to keep it on at night but just ended up having to open the windows. Which was another down side.
Because of the air condition not working, we had to resort to opening the windows. The apartment is on the 2 floor and you can clearly here everything from the street. So be prepared to stay up all night.
Lastly and most importantly was the bathroom situation. In the pictures the bathroom looks amazing and clean. When we got there it was just as pictured. But there was a problem with the sewer. You could smell a little hint of it. Then as you used the beautiful shower, the drain would start backing up and pulling up blue liquid from the drain. It would also have a smell to it, a sewer smell. The drain also would not drain, so you will take a nice warm shower and stand in a pool of backed up water. We then also encountered little tiny bugs, coming in and out of the shower, all on the rug that we had to put down since the water would not drain. I messaged Andrea on a Saturday regarding the bathroom situation. She replied back with the excuse of “it’s a Saturday, hard to find a plumber on the weekends, thanks for telling me.” This was only our first day in Madrid, and already dealing with this when we had 3 nights at her place. So yeah the bathroom situation did not get fixed, even though we checked out on a Tuesday, she could of had someone come in on a Monday and make us feel a little more comfortable.
