Our stay was a mixed bag of experience. Although we enjoyed the amazing location in the city center and communication with the host, the place itself felt distant from what is seen in the pictures. A lot of the furniture was old and squeaky; few with barely joined elements which could come apart easily. Also, the place felt little squished together to our expectations since everything in the pictures seemed spacious and well equipped. No elevators so be prepared to built up your legs for a workout of stair climbing. Maybe it’s just our view, but the overall stay was wonderful because we tried to make the best use of our time exploring the streets of madrid.
