Positives: the apartment was really nice, although it looks small in the pictures it's actually well organised and didn't feel small. The bathroom is small but you could find a small bathroom in a huge apartment. One thing would make it a lot better is a shelf above the WC. The building itself was very nice, traditional Madrid style, and very secure. The area of the city is my favourite part of Madrid. For cafes restaurants bars and convenience stores you have everything. It's very close to two metro lines too. The reina Sofia museum and puerta del sol is an easy walk. In the apartment I had everything I needed, or at least that was the intention of the hosts but;
Negatives: nothing major, just a little bit more attention to the cleaning, I made it a lot better myself with just 10 minutes work. I should stress it wasn't bad, but could have been better. Also, the toilet paper I'd been left with had mould on it and was hard, so it had clearly been wet before. I'm sure I'd have got a replacement if I'd asked but I thought it much easier just to nip out and buy some, however it's the same issue as before, a very small effort to pay attention to detail would make the place perfect. On arrival, I was met by Rodrigo's mother who was really lovely. All in all, I'd definitely stay again, in fact I probably will look for this place again next time.
