The apartment has a lot going for it, but has some issues.
This apartment has a great location and plenty of space. The host was friendly and quick to respond to questions. It is in a safe, clean neighborhood only a few blocks from Retiro Park with lots of lovely restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment is a good size for four people. The two bathrooms were spacious compared to most European apartments, the beds were comfortable, and the apartment gets lots of light.
The apartment needed some repairs... The carpets had stains and could use a deep steam clean. Several pieces of furniture needed repairs - the dining room chairs, outdoor furnishings, and outdoor canopy were tired or broken. We never wore shoes in the apartment and were careful to walk softly, but the neighbor below complained 3 times that we were walking back and forth too much in the hall during the day and early evening.
