Charles was a wonderful host! He was very friendly and understanding, allowing me to come pick up the keys in place of my parents when their flight was delayed. The apartment itself was lovely, with all of the described amenities and everything kept clean and looking like new. The location was perfect, barely a three minute walk from the nearest metro stop, and a 15 minute walk from the transportation hubs of Sol and Atocha.
The only possible con of this place is the noise at night, especially during the weekend. Since it’s right on the plaza of Lavapies, a popular and frequented area of Madrid, you can hear quite a bit of hustle and bustle from the crowds going to the restaurants and stores nearby. But that’s completely understandable, given the location and convenience, and it’s out of the host’s hands anyway.
Overall, I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Madrid, especially if it’s for a week or longer!
