Melvin's place is a tough place to describe.

We were on a third Airbnb location in Spain (Madrid, Granada, Madrid) when we arrived at Melvin's apartment. I guess we were spoiled by the first two. The best way to describe it is Pros and Cons:

Pros
1) It is centrally located and less than a block off Gran Via.
2) The initial meeting was quick. Upon arriving at the apartment, we called the representative and she was there within 5 to 10 minutes to let us into the apartment.
3) We were welcomed with a few bottles of Water, Coke, Beer and a bottle of Wine.
4) They addressed an Air Conditioning issue (dirty filters) quickly with a Service Man visiting the unit the following morning.

Cons
1) There is only one Air Conditioning Unit in the apartment and it is located in the main room. When the system was operating correctly, it cooled the main room but did not do much for the bedroom.
2) The building was having some work performed on it. Scaffolding was on the front and rear of the building. Work started at 8:00AM with workers walking on the roof which also was our ceiling. We could also see the workers working on the roof through the apartment's windows.
3) This is a rental unit and not someone's residence. There are few decorations and there are notes taped to the wall about broken wine glass and dirty towel fees.
