Gonzalo’s place was just across Atocha train station so it was super convenient. He was kind to allow me to check in at 1230 pm when a lady was still cleaning up. The apartment is safe and spacious. It helped that there are 2 bathrooms - we really appreciate this. A few things could be better - there wasn’t a kettle to boil water to make hot drinks. We texted him, but there was no response. :( In the end, we had to boil water in one of the cooking pots and used a cup to draw hot water. The apartment could also do with some renovation. A few lights in one of the bathrooms were broken; the holder for the shower head was also broken; the mirror in the bathroom was too far away because of the width of the wash basin top - trying to insert my contact lens was a challenge. Some additional toilet rolls and kitchen paper hand towels would have been great. But these were minor inconveniences which I was able to navigate. Overall, it’s still a lovely place.
