Our stay at Daniel’s apartment was overall enjoyable. The location of the apartment was perfect; the metro station directly outside of the apartment building has excellent links to other lines and makes the whole city easily accessible, and there are several reasonably priced supermarkets nearby, as well as a lovely bakery downstairs. Whilst we enjoyed our stay at the apartment, it was during the hottest time of year and temperatures reached 40 degrees most days. The lack of air-conditioning in the apartment would be of no issue had the fans provided been sufficient, however, they were rather lacklustre and didn’t provide the relief from the heat we were expecting.
The apartment was very clean when we arrived, maybe because the cleaners were still there, but we found some amenities to be missing. There was a lack of hand soap, no hand towel and toilet paper in the bathroom (we had to buy our own toilet paper), a low amount of cutlery, and sponges etc. to wash up with.
We would also note that the apartment is considerably smaller than appears in the pictures, and perhaps would be more suitable for 2, maybe 3 people at maximum, as our party of 4 found it to be a rather tight space, especially if you value privacy.
Daniel was very fast when replying to our messages and kept us well informed about arrival and check-out times. We would stay in the apartment again if visiting Madrid, as it suited our needs of travelling into the city centre, was clean and was reasonably priced.
