This apartment is beautiful and looks exactly as photographed in the pictures! It was clean, and the check in process was very smooth. They even let us check in earlier than the appointed time.
However, the location of this apartment isn’t as great as it sounds and may be a bit misleading. Yes, it is within a 15 min walk to all sights but it is actually in the more grungy lavapies neighbourhood. The streets are narrow, most of the shops and commercial establishments are boarded up and covered in graffiti - it’s definitely not in the beautiful parts of madrid and the area can be a bit dirty at times as well.
We also wish the apartment had been stocked better with supplies. There was a nespresso coffee machine, but no coffee pods / teas or even supplies. I’ve noticed that this is a basic provision of all airbnbs we had stayed in. It was annoying to step out every time we wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee or tea. I had requested our contact for some, and she replied that she could send it over the very next day. However the coffee never came, despite me asking them to stock it.
In terms of bathroom supplies, we were given one small bottle of shower gel for 2 people over 3 days - we ran out of it on the first day and had to go buy some. There were only two rolls of toilet paper stocked for 2 people for 3 days with no spares. We ran out on the last day and which was extremely inconvenient for us.
If you’re ok with the neighbourhood and plan to bring your own supplies - this apartment is a good bet!
