My party of three stayed at this large, tastefully decorated and well appointed two bedroom apartment in central Madrid recently. It was clean, air conditioned and well furnished. The kitchen was well equipped with new appliances including a large refrigerator with an ice machine , a super quiet dish washer, a microwave and Nespresso machine. Although we did not cooked there, we took advantage of the facility for simple breakfast and snacks. Having use of a medium size washing machine was also much appreciated after a sweaty visit to Sevilla.
There are a couple of things worthy to note for those only accustomed to North American standards. This apartment is in an older building in Madrid Centro. It is on the 4th floor which would be the fifth according to the North American numbering system. There are a few steps to climb after getting in the main entrance and a very small elevator on the small landing that would maximally accommodate 2 slim to normal size adults and their carry on luggage (or one small adult and 3 medium suitcases as we planned for our departure). Also, the location is great for a variety of dining options as well as early visits to the Royal Palace, Retiro Park, etc. However, early to bed people be warned, the apartment is also in the hub of central Madrid nightlife. Our stay spanned Friday to Sunday and there were nightly street concerts a block away and many happy partiers at the tapas bars/restaurants in the small street just below the unit’s windows. This was not a problem for us.
Would I recommend this AirBnb, absolutely! Our host Loren was very kind and helpful. The apartment is super!
