This is the perfect space if you're a bachelor/bachelorette party and enjoy the late nights. However, not what myself or those I was traveling with expected who were visiting Madrid for a restful trip. You will not get rest here.
Pros
- easy access to metro, centrally located
- safe and secure
cons
- the apartment is located above a club, so the noise is absurd. I consider myself a heavy sleeper and had to invest in ear plugs that still didn't drown out the noise. if you decide to stay here, seriously consider prepping for the noise level.
- frosted glass bathroom door was a surprise. didn't lend for much privacy.
- many areas are rusted ie: shower, bathroom storage and/or broken ie: cracked dryer cover
- dishwasher tabs/soap was not provided. when I asked, I was told to use the dish soap by the sink. I have relayed to the host that this should be provided (as it looks like a previous reviewer did as well.)
- there is no dryer here. there is a very fast spin cycle in the washing machine but you still need to use a drying rack. the washing machine left residue on clothes. our advice is to wipe down the washer before use.
- while the listing does state there is a hot water tank that needs to replenish, it made I through about 1.5 showers before going freezing cold. as an apartment for 4 people, this is incredibly inconvenient. you may want to divide up your party into different shower shifts.
-the baclonies would have been nice to enjoy coffee or wine on had they had been easily accessible.
- the smaller room is very small and no place for bags. consider having one guest in the living room on the futon and one in the bedroom so you have space for luggage.
Overall, this is an Airbnb that exists to make money and offer nightlifers a place to sleep. If you like to party and just need a place to crash, this is probably the place for you. If you hope to get any rest after a long day of wandering the city, stay elsewhere.
