This is a really good appartment to stay a couple of days in Madrid. Everything was perfect! However, before arrival I received an email from the host her airbnbaccount with my data for the stay and everything. But in the upperleft corner of the email was a watermark of "StopInFlat".. which is a different platform which is not airbnb obviously.. that email asked me to pay 200euro deposito BEFORE ARRIVAL. I ofcourse ignored the message because the link in the mail to pay the 200euro deposito was not the website of airbnb but a stopinflat website... However, when arrived at the room, yolanda (the host) welcomed us and showed the room very nice. Then she told us that airbnb automatically made a 200euro deposito. Which is no problem, because airbnb did that and not a random "stopinflat"website link.. so that was something wierd. Also during the check-in the Host asked us a late check-in fee which was 30euro. For us that was no problem because we thought it was through the Airbnb website. But no.. the host wanted it in cash.. my brother didnt believed it, and wanted the host to call airbnb at that moment. We did that together with the host, and the airbnb employee didnt found anything of a late night check-in fee to pay in cash to the host..... BUT besides these 2 things, the stay was absolutly Wonderfull!!! Also the host Yolanda was very nice and responded within minutes. She was very kind.
My message for new travelers: Please come to this resident next to puerto de sol! I will give the location and the house it self a 10/10! BUT dont pay anything to 'StopInFlats' websites and DONT pay "LateCheck-in" fee's IN CASH!
Thank you Yolanda for the wonderfull stay in Madrid.
