“Melvin’s” place was exactly what you pay for. We never met Melvin, but his associate greeted us and gave us a quick tour.
PROS: location was amazing (right off of Gran Via), elevator, wide variety of restaurants & bars, 2 min walk to metro
CONS: Thin walls with loud neighbors up until 4am and construction starting at 9am, more outdated and dark than pics portray, no windows except for 2 small skylights, was tight for space with luggage and 3 people.
