Though furniture surfaces, appliances, bedroom and bathroom fixtures were clean, the floor was filthy. My white soled slippers turned black from the 2 evenings spent in apt.
The old apartment was "renovated" quite badly. Ikea furniture slapped in, ill cut and fitted closets, layout awkward.
The pictures, taken with very wide angle lenses, make apartment look much larger. Small windows with cheap roller blinds provided very little natural light. Outside hallway stairs in old building were dark and dingy.
Hosts do not simply have an apartment for one or two for guests, they have 50! Hardly an example of the "sharing" economy. It's a medium size business.
Was given a Metro / bus transit pass on arrival and told it had 10 prepaid fares (€12 value). Pass had no credit.
The address given for arrival is a pedestrian street. No taxi or UBER can arrive at the address. The address on other end of small mall would have allowed a taxi or UBER to arrive just steps away. My driver got lost twice, then left me at the busy pedestrian street which I had to struggle down with my luggage.
All in all, a poor value for money. Had prepaid for 6 nights, left after 2. There are much better alternatives in Madrid, either hotel or ABB flats not rented as a "business".
