First of all Nader was very flexible regarding the check-in time. We spent some really nice days in Madrid (except the time inside the apartment...)! Unfortunately we were disappointed with the apartment and can not recommend it, neither would we come back again... At first the photos on AirBnb do not correspond to the actual condition of the apartment (for example worn-out chairs, replaced
washbasin and old sink cabinet, dirty and damaged walls, shattered picture frame at the entrance etc...) Probably the pictures online are already a few years old and were taken when everything was new. Although the apartment was almost clean, the bed was comfortable and the location centrally situated, it is not acceptable that we had to wash ourselves and shower with dirty and disgusting brown tap water (hot water also limited) and the penetrating smell in the bathroom (without mentioning anything of it on the apartment's profile or personally at our check-in)... Also we were a little bit shocked about the neglected old building the apartment is in, which seemed abandoned. The view from every window was into the inner courtyard and the neighbors can be loud, especially during the night or early morning. We can not understand the good reviews and want to prevent that more guests will arrive in the future, having a bad surprise before actually starting to enjoy their holidays in Madrid...
