While I'm sure this apartment has been great for others, it just wasn't the stay for me. First off, getting from the airport to the metro station near this apartment is very easy. However, it did take us some time to find the actual listing address. Googling the address didn't totally help us find it, but talking with Jesus helped us find it. When we met Jesus, he helped carry our bags upstairs. Be aware that this listing is in an old building with no elevator and the unit is on the 5th floor. Jesus showed us around the apartment and then gave us the low down about some quirks with the apartment. He told us that some people have reported issues with water pressure so he showed us how to adjust the water heater to improve the water pressure. He also made mention of the AC unit that has a bucket for water run off that needs to be emptied based on how long you run it. Personally, if I'm staying somewhere, I prefer not to have to maintain anything with my accommodations. After Jesus left, we noticed that the toilet was constantly running water and upon use wouldn't flush waste consistently. Maybe there's a trick to getting that to work, but it gave us trouble during our entire four day stay. Upon closer inspection while unpacking our toiletries in the bathroom, we found several hairs on the shower walls which forced my boyfriend to clean the shower before we would step foot in it. The shower curtain is also longer than the height of the shower and as a result is bunched up towards to floor and had the visible pink mold that often appears in shower environments. We did turn on the AC for about 40 mins, then while we were laying down we heard a dripping sound and the AC started to drip on the side that didn't have a hose emptying into the bucket. I contacted Maria and Jesus to alert them of the issue and they responded quickly that they would come over the next day and look at it. I don't know if the AC was leaking due to a mechanical issue or if it was just a lot of condensation. We did have to lay a bowl down to collect the water and the water finally stopped dripping after about an hour. We ultimately didn't end up using the AC again because we didn't want to deal with having to clean anything up. Nonetheless, after cleaning up the mess from the AC we continued our day and didn't get back until late. It was 23:00 and when we turned the shower on, only cold water came out. After 15 minutes we couldn't get hot water. We eventually had to tinker with the water heater to get the pilot light to ignite to get the hot water to run. We eventually ended up doing this every day to get hot water to run. We ultimately decided to continue our stay because we found a way to live with the quirks of this apartment. And while this was a large stress factor for me, I'm sure it might not bother others. The apartment is quite cute but has definitely seen some wear. I have no doubt that this listing could be incredible if some updates were made to address what I've described above. I feel compelled to write this only so that anyone staying here can manage their expectations. Overall, we did really appreciate the responsiveness of Maria and Jesus. They are very friendly hosts. The apartment is incredibly well located with much to do in the surrounding areas. This listing is at a great price point for those who might be swinging by for a couple days in Madrid. Just know what you're walking into while staying here.
