Mattia’s place is in a great location. It really is just around the corner from Atocha. A lot of food places on your doorstep and a supermarket down the street.
However, I won’t stay again. We arrived in two groups as we were a group of 5 travelling from different places.
When the first person arrived (who isn’t used to Airbnb) they asked to take a photo of his passport. There was absolutely ZERO mention about this earlier. I use Airbnb a lot and I have never been asked for this. Later the host asked for everyone else’s. When asked for a reason we were told it was something to do with the police and terrorism? (This could be down to a language barrier but it needs to be explained)
Also upon check in all of the bedsheets were wet. The person who arrived first stripped all the beds because the duvet will become wet if not. When we messaged Mattia he apologised and sent someone to change them.
The apartment is much smaller than it looks and the bedroom with the double bed has no windows and is very airless.
The sofa bed is not the same as it is in the photos and it’s very uncomfortable, we had to layer it up with other blankets so people could sleep on it, and even at that we swapped beds to give the others a break.
In the kitchen there are ants every where.
All in all, it was okay. I’m sure the apartment is fine for 2/3 people, but certainly not 5! I won’t return.
