Wonderful summer vacation in Madrid. The apartment is located in the center of the tourist rush! It felt safe and Metro stations are easily accessible from this area. A good ice cream shop right next door and the Mercado de San Miguel food market across the street. Also supermarket nearby and plenty options for coffee and pastries. The apartment itself is ok. It is a good size but the layout is odd, in that the bedroom with two twin beds connects between master bedroom and hallway. The bedroom with two twins does not have an A/C unit, so it can get warm. Overall the apartment is very clean, but the condition is very worn out. Furniture cracking, floors bumpy, soft and squeaking with every step, walls scuffed, doors don’t open and close easily. In fact, one hallway door was locked and could not be opened. Kitchen is moderately equipped, washer/dryer unit is not very good. During our stay the apartment was very noisy! Every night there were people outside yelling or very loudly collecting trash. Above us people were playing music, running and screaming like crazies in the middle of the night. It was seriously disturbing. As for hosts, Oscar and/or Rut were very responsive through Airbnb messaging. Oscar provided me with a contact for COVID testing which was great. Check in was easy. All in all a good apartment. Love Madrid!! What a great city.
