This place was great and met our needs. Convenient location if you’re traveling my train because it is a 5 minute walk from Puerta de Atocha station. The place is also about a 7 minute walk from the metro station, just one train to popular tourist destination, Gran Via. It is right beside the Reina-Sofia art museum as well.
The host sent detailed instructions with pictures for auto check-in. Check-in was at 1:00pm, but when I arrived, the room wasn’t ready yet. The cleaning lady was still working on our apartment, so we had to sit and wait for 15 minutes. She said that she didn’t know guests were coming. The host knew I was coming at 1, so there must have been a lack of communication between them.
The apartment itself was great. Perfect size for 2 people. The walls and floors are very thin, so you hear everyone coming and going in the apartment. If you are a light sleeper, be aware of this. You can hear people going down the stairs and entering the other units. No noise from outside, as we are facing a courtyard.
Bathroom is clean and has all the basics. Towels were provided, but they are old and a bit stained. I would have used my own, if I brought them. Shower is big enough. I wish there were more hooks in there to hang towels and clothes. There is a towel bar above the toilet but it can’t be reached from the shower. Only other place to put your clothes is on the toilet.
The bathroom sink is small and short, so I preferred to use the kitchen sink. You better be comfortable with who you’re staying with because the bathroom door is pretty much transparent.
There is a stove, microwave and mini fridge but we didn’t do any cooking while we were there. Fast wifi. There’s a futon if you are a group of 3. The apt has A/C and you can adjust the temperature if needed.
