Location; 10/10, based in one of the finest upmarket areas of Madrid.

Interior style; 3/10, a pretty soulless apartment solely for letting.

Interior quality; 4/10, Ikea everything, budget was as cheap as possible when this place was equipped. Quality parquet flooring and a great bathroom/bedroom vanity mirror/sink affair. We had to buy our own pillows as what was supplied were so bad. We spent v little time in this apartment except sleeping, we did not cook in the apartment, there was no cooking materials at all, ie herbs n spices and salt etc etc.

Noise; 2/10, really really noisy, can hear every footstep of the people above, every time a toilet is flushed you hear everything come down the downpipe. Advice is to keep normal working hours same as your neighbours and it won't bother you so much. No noise from outside at least as the windows face an enclosed area not the street thus no street noise.

Overall; Gabriel was accommodating and efficient. This is an apartment listing for one of a number of apartments from a Madrid short lettings company. They ask you to sign an additional contract on top of whatever implicit agreements and security is in place via Airbnb, i thought this rather strange, but more of just an administrative hassle and slightly missing the whole point of the ease of using Airbnb, rather than anything else.

For a short stay in Madrid this place might work for you, but if you're looking for anything with personality and or a real 'home' this is certainly not it.
