I have never booked an AirBnB apartment and never believed in it. My friends forced me to give it a try and, literally, after reading all 96 comments on this apartment, I agreed to try it out.
First, all these comments don’t do it justice. The apartment is so much more beautiful than it looks in the pictures, it’s bigger than I expected, it’s in the middle of the city and almost near all the great attractions and restaurants. Whenever I’m coming back to Madrid, this will definitely be the place I’m staying at.
The only thing to keep in mind, which I personally had to deal with, is that you need to know all important contacts in case of an emergency. I got really sick around midnight, my friends tried to call the host, the Spanish emergency numbers and the embassy of my country with no luck. This would not have happened if we were staying at a hotel. Other than that, I couldn’t think of any downside.
