My wife, myself and a friend stayed at Michele's place at the end of May. Unfortunately, we had some maintenance issues with the unit, and we didn't find it to be very clean, and it was quite noisy....so our stay was not great.
Michelle was unavailable, but had someone covering for her, which was fine. However, we did have some communication issues - as our Spanish is good but not great, and his English is the same. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of...
The issue was a missing door handle, that no one seemed to know about, nor tell us...the wind then blew the door closed and we could not get into the bedroom. All of our money, clothes and passports were in the bedroom, and we had no way to get into the room. So, after some prodding to Michelle's point person, someone was dispatched to help out. They opened and fixed the door, but we lost an evening to the problem.
While this has been fixed, be aware that it happened and look out for it. In general, one bathroom and the kitchen have been updated, but one bathroom is still quite old and has some wear and tear.
The unit itself is very large and easily accommodated all of us. The front room is comfortable and has a nice view out the balcony. However, the street below was under construction (and looks to be for a while!) and it was insanely loud all day (not our host's fault).
Also, there are several prostitutes on the street below all the time, so just be aware, they didn't bother us, but it is something I would have preferred to know before booking.
It is a pedestrian only street, therefore it was a little difficult to get our suitcases (we drove into Madrid) to the building, as there is no where to leave the car. It made coordinating our coming and going a little difficult. Not a big issue, again, just something to be aware of...
The unit is above a store. And, while the street noise doesn't reach the back bedrooms, the store noise did. And, did early...oftentimes before 7:30 AM. They were unloading boxes, moving merchandise, etc. It was noisy.
We also felt the unit needed a deep clean. Most of the area rugs in the picture were not in the unit, and the floors were dingy. The cleaning crew was not very good, as there was built up dirt in the corners and the bathrooms were merely "surface clean."
With all of that said...the couch and beds were comfortable (although, one queen sized bed would be nice), the a/c worked well, and the location of the unit was great for sight seeing. The unit lacks some warmth and personal touches (its very sparsely decorated) that would go along way to make it a much better place to stay.
