We’re pretty experienced Airbnb users across the globe with predominantly positive reviews, but this is an exception. That said, the location of this place was great, as was check in, the view from the terrace/ patio and Daniels’ responsiveness to questions, but we wouldn’t return. A few examples of the problems our group of four (two couples)encountered:
Bathroom fans didn’t work.
Only one hand towel provided for the 3 bathrooms.
No dish towels provided.
No place to hang bath towels.
Only one set of keys, so you’ll all be together for your whole stay!
Oven wasn’t usable (no racks inside)
No way to hang laundry.
Balcony furniture pictured when we rented the listing was largely missing and no shade, so pretty unusable in hot Madrid other than early morning and late evening.
The one table on the balcony is not fully assembled so be careful- it can and will fall apart if disturbed or moved slightly and the top is made of glass.
Kitchen was not well stocked as claimed in the listing; bring your own salt, oil, etc as needed if you don’t plan on eating out for all meals.
No hot water pot was available which is unusual for Europe’s Airbnb’s.
Not even a single cup of coffee’s worth of coffee grounds are provided to start your stay- bring all the coffee and laundry soap you need.
No dishwasher or even a drying rack- so we had to dry dishes on the floor with a bath towel so we could have dishes for our next meal or snack.
Floor and couches were full of cigarette burns when we arrived (we don’t smoke) and not as pictured in the listing.
Downstairs bedroom has very thin windows so even when closed street noise is deafening all night long; bring earplugs.
Most of these issues could be solved for 50 euro or less with a little motivation, but given similar previous reviews post pandemic on a number of the above issues including the deck furniture, it doesn’t seem management of this apartment is likely to change.
Again bottom line is we would not stay here again nor recommend to a friend.
