Laura’s apartment was nice and very well appointed. It provided a lot of natural light and luckily had air conditioning-as Madrid is still quite warm in October! The shower was lovely and the beds were decently comfortable. The balcony space was nice to have as well! On the other hand, the check in process was a struggle. After arriving at the door shortly after 3 pm (which is the check in time listed), we retrieved our keys from the lock box, and attempted to open the door. We could not get in and discovered that the cleaning lady was still inside cleaning. We were eventually able to get into the apartment after someone came to let us in. The check in tainted our experience a little bit, however it was still a nice apartment. The neighbors were very noisy at night, but there’s not much that could be done about that. Other than that, it’s worth a little bit of a struggle to be within walking distance of all the main attractions in Madrid in the city center.
