The location of this flat is incredible. It’s a 10 min walk to the Royal Palace, the Mercado San Miguel, wonderful tapas, and public transport. The flat is also nice, although very dark. My biggest issue with the flat was communication with the host. There is nowhere on the listing stating that there’s a late check in fee, yet if you show up after 10 they ask you for cash. First of all, 10 is early in Madrid and getting in from anywhere in Europe would make sense from 10 to midnight. Second, it is against the Airbnb rules to ask for cash. All payments need to be made over the platform and all additional charges must be listed on the listing before booking. When I asked the host about this, he stopped responding. He gave no directions and was not helpful with checkin.
