The Good
* Location Location Location
* steps from Gran Via, lots of great shops and nightlife, lots to do.
* Bath, floors, kitchen all clean and modern. Good A/C.
* Maria communicates well, is very thorough, she is a superhost for good reasons.
The Not So Good
* Apartment itself was small and cluttered with Maria's belongings, leaving less room for guests.
* AirBnB needs to support a category that lets potential guests know that the owner lives there and vacates for rental purposes. That may not be an issue for some people, and they are free to choose, but the rest of us should know this beforehand. We felt uncomfortable being around other people's belongings.
* We found the bed was small for two adults, also very noisy as there is a lively square just outside where people are out to all hours. Got very little sleep.
All in all, a small but cozy, clean apartment in an excellent locationfor partying. Probably suitable for a younger crowd than us.
