The apartment was exactly as described. The #1 reason I chose this apartment was the ability to check in early. My flight arrived at 8am and most places don’t let you check in until the afternoon. As you come in you do notice it has a cigarette smell. The only issue we had was with the shower, it puddled as you showered. The sofa bed could use a replacement as it wasn’t very comfortable for sleeping. Loved that this apartment has AC, during our stay we had weather in the 90s, it was comforting to know you could be able to rest in a nice cool place. This apartment is in a great location, close to the main attractions. The darkening blinds are superb, you can’t even tell when the sun has come up, this is a plus for getting a good night’s sleep. Our host was very responsive, every time I’d reach out, she would reply immediately. I would definitely stay at this place again if I go back to Madrid.
