We have rented this apartment in high season and for a long duration and it is not good value for the money. Our experience has been bad or very bad. The apartment looks really nice in the photos but it just set to look good, functionally, it has many problems.
I will list these problems and you can decide for yourself:
- The area is very noisy at night and early in the morning. Many people standing in the street chatting, drinking and shouting. It has been really hard to have a good night sleep especially if you are a family.
- Windows are old and badly insulated. Blinders are not functioning properly and one does not work at all.
- The apartment is very hot in summer and has no AC. avoid at all cost in that season. Madrid is very hot.
-The kitchen is badly equipped. The smoke hood (extractor) does not work. We asked it to be fixed but no one did anything about it. The cooking stove is with two fires and one is very small that is only useful for making tea. The fridge is very old and missing shelves. The kitchen was really uncomfortable to use and is smaller than it looks in the photos. Not having the extractor working was really a pain.
- The shower has no shower curtain. Everytime we took a shower we had all the bathroom floor with water. Very annoying. we asked the owner to put one, they did not do anything about it..
- There were two fans in the apartment, but one was broken and it was not replaced. We had very hot days and it was very annoying to had to deal with all these issues.
- The bedroom bed is very small, 135cm wide. It was not enough for two adults. We had to improvise a solution to be able to sleep.
- The small sofabed in the second bedroom had a very light mattress that was very uncomfortable.
- There appears an Ac in one of the photos, but it is not working and they will never fix it. it is there to give false expectations I guess.
As a result of all this , our experience in the apartment was very bad, and the stay was unpleasant.
I really encourage you not to book this apartment to send a massage to the owner that this kind of inaccurate announcement is not tolerated.
We renting an apartment with kind of price, we look to only to have a nice photo but also for functionality. It is something that this apartment did not fullfil.
The owner is not a person but a company of some sort.
hope this is helpful
