The bathroom was DISGUSTING. You can smell the mildew from the shower curtain in the common areas and have to close the door to the bathroom to minimize the smell. The shower curtain is also tinted pink at the bottom which is a key indicator that it isn’t being properly cleaned and there’s mildew growing (hence the pink). We decided to not shower because of this. We also saw hair in the shower and sink upon arrival. Moreover, when sitting on the toilet, if you’re 5’7” or taller, your knees may touch the wall or you can’t lean forward when relieving yourself, making the toilet actually uncomfortable to use.
This is not an “entire space”. It’s a shared house with private room. The hallway is shared and you can literally hear everything your neighbors in the other studios are doing. I heard multiple times phones ringing, people talking, people entering, etc. I also don’t believe this area was very safe. I heard sirens multiple times. Additionally, I could hear people below on the street even with the patio door closed. It was incredibly loud.
Also, the air conditioner did not turn on for us making the room muggy.
I stayed in Madrid the week before for a similar price and got a better apt + actually clean space that was accurately described. I would never stay here again.
Lastly, upon arrival of the studio, I was curious how this space had so many positive reviews and upon departure I discovered why. The host sent a private note asking that we give the experience five stars even if it wasn’t a five-star experience and that we message them what could be improved instead. How tacky!
