Kyles place is pictured as described and it has everything you need for cooking, showering etc. It is very close to the metro which helps with the 30 min commute to the center (Sol). The shower is super nice and the water stays hot which is a plus for Madrid!! Can definitely tell the apartment has been renovated and looks nice.
However, communication with the host was very poor—we decided a check in time and had to stand in the cold for 30 minutes for someone to let us in the apartment. The host does not live in Madrid so this made it hard to communicate issues with the apartment. The man who checked us in did not speak English which made it hard to understand house rules. When we checked in the sheets were very dusty and had hair so we washed them. The sink had food stuck to it and a few dishes were unclean that were in the cabinet. The ultimate deal breaker was at check out when the host falsely accused us of damaging a blue piece of furniture in the apartment that was not used which we were very confused about and try to explain we were not using it but he said he “did not believe us.”
Loved the apartment but some things are not necessary when you want a nice stay at an Airbnb. Low rating is because it is unlike other Airbnb experiences I’ve had that were very smooth and positive.
