I’ve been struggling with what exactly to write for this review as our stay was not terrible, but also not great. We arrived in the evening and were only staying for two more, so by the time we considered canceling and finding a new place it seemed like a hassle that would take time away from our visit to Madrid. I’ll start by saying that check-in was a breeze and Nahuel was extremely responsive in his communication before and throughout our stay. The apartment is actually quite smaller that what the images indicate, but not uncomfortably so for two people. I definitely wouldn’t recommend a group larger that two to stay unless you’re really comfortable with each other (or a family). And the bed is really comfortable. The place is located about a two minute walk from Puerta Del Sol, a very central and bustling area of Madrid. There Sol metro station makes it a breeze to connect to the rest of the city. From the balcony you can look down onto the pedestrian street that is lined with several tapas restaurants, one being directly below. Because the apartment is located on a busy pedestrian street, there’s a lot of noise that comes in if you choose to leave the glass doors open. This is the only window in the apartment, so it can seem a little dark throughout the day as you’re surrounded by tall buildings. There is an AC unit so the noise from the street is not a problem when you go to bed. We elected to close the doors in the evening as the cigarette smoke from the diners below would waft into the small space. Finally, the bathroom. According to the host (after I reached out about the ceiling falling apart), recently the upstairs neighbor had an issue in the bathroom, causing the ceiling in this apartment to be affected by water. We were not informed about this recent issue before our arrival so we arrived to an apartment that smelled like a heady mix of mold and chemical. When we realized that it was coming from the bathroom, we closed the door and kept the fan running to try and get rid of the smell. Unfortunately the smell did not go away, so we kept the door closed and avoided the bathroom as much as possible throughout our stay. We eventually stopped running the fan because brown-tinged droplets began dropping down from the vent and it didn’t seem to be making any difference anyway. The ceiling over the shower was peeled and bubbling when we arrived, and after the first shower pieces of it started falling down into the shower. We looked back at the reviews and read about similar experiences recent guests had with the bathroom, reviews that didn’t exist when we booked. I wish we would have at least been warned about what we were walking into, so either the hosts don’t realize how bad the bathroom is at the moment or they aren’t bothered by it. For us, the smell was bad enough to move all of our toiletries out and use the kitchen sink to wash our hands and brush our teeth and only use the bathroom for the “bare essentials.” Hopefully this issue will be resolved before your stay should you decide location trumps all, but if you are sensitive to smells in any way, I’d highly consider another property.
