My husband and I stayed at Kristian's apartment for two nights in April. We choose the apartment for its location near our daughter who is living in Madrid. The best features of this apartment are its location and the spaciousness of the bedroom, livingroom, kitchen and bath. We did not get to meet Kristian, as he was out-of-town during our stay, but he made arrangements with our daughter to get the key to her in advance.

This was our first experience with Airbnb, but we have previously rented apartments for short term stays in Madrid and Barcelona. During this trip we stayed in four different apartments in Spain. I waited to write this review until after our other stays for comparison.

I would agree with previous reviews that the apartment building itself is a bit run down. The apartment is not as light and white as it appears in the photos, but as I said it is quite spacious. It was fairly quiet at night -- certainly as quiet as can be expected for a busy apartment building. The elevator only worked intermittently, as there appeared to be some issues with it.

For the most part I was satisfied with the accommodations for the price; however, a few small items would have made our stay more satisfying such as a hand towel in the bathroom, a trash can in the bathroom and kitchen, and some bath gel or soap for the shower. All of these items were provided in the other apartments that we rented during our trip. Perhaps it was an oversight by those looking after the apartment in his absence. I'm sure that Kristian will make them available now that he is aware of their absence.

I would certainly consider this apartment again in the future, particularly if I knew that these items had been added.
