Bad things:
Had an unfortunate situation where the apartment still had some Uncleaned things (bathroom and some wet used towels still hung up) when we arrived, but manuel immediately came to rectify, so that was very nice of him. Still not the best feeling to think that your space may not have been fully cleaned. Also, beware, the apartment smells very bad of old pipes. If you know the smell, it smells like pipe sewage…assuming bc it’s an old building, but I’ve lived in Madrid and other old buildings so not smell this bad. We had to buy air freshener it was so bad.
Space is a little weird as you open a main apartment door and have a long hallway with 3x other apartments (all with their own locks), but you’re a little taken aback. Your room has its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, etc however. Just something to be aware of.
Another thing, Fuencarral on weekends is bannanas. Actually, everything near gran via, so be prepared for all people around the area and within the building coming in and out late. But the place is decently Insulated to the street. It’s just the internal building noise that can become an issue.
Space is smaller than it looks in the pictures .
Good things:
* Bed and pillows were wonderful!
*Communication is fantastic and Manuel was very nice when we had the cleaning problem
*Check in is on your own and easy
*Apartment has most things you could want for a stay, but didn’t find a clothes drying rack.
* Location is very central in Madrid
