Carlos place is in the best neighborhood in Madrid. It is clean and has a comfortable bed. But that's about it.... if you are looking for a cozy home where you actually feel welcome and home and where you want to spend time, I would not recommend Carlos place. We booked many airbnbs all over the world since the company was founded ten years ago in the States. So I am very well able to compare and review. We love to stay in cozy airbnbs and the feeling to be part of a city, living in the neighborhood like the locals and to feel welcome by the host. Carlo's place was one of the biggest disappointments on airbnb. The feeling there was more like staying in a cold hotel room than in an apartment. Below I explain you why: - The only windows are of non-see-through frosted glass and face the very ugly court of the building. You barely have daylight and cannot look outside at all. The apartment is very dark and even during the day you have to turn all the lights on. - There is no comfortable seating. I asked Carlos before booking whether there is a sofa/couch where you can spend some time reading or watching TV. He told me that there are two couches - so I booked. The couches turned out to be no couches, but two fancy chairs that are very uncomfortable to sit in. So we had to lay on the bed when we were in the apartment. - The apartment is a lot smaller than on the pictures - The Wifi was not working at all. I wrote Carlos several times and his reply was: "The internet was working always forever that's super weird". He was really rude, almost blaming me that the internet was not working. No effort from his side to fix the problem or apologize. After three days my daughter's boyfriend fixed it by putting a missing cable. After checking out (stayed there 5 nights) Carlos told me that he changed the provider and in the apartment was a sheet with the old password - which was not true, because with the connecting cable it worked - still on and off, but at least sometimes. - The kitchen is extremely bad equipped. It's a very sparse collection of several cheap mugs, glasses and silverware. I have never seen anything like this in an airbnb There was no dish towel. Also normally the host puts some basics in the kitchen to great the guests, like water, milk, crackers, sometimes a small bottle of wine etc. Not here. - The black bed sheets have been washed, but had permanent stains. - The drain of the shower was working, but only if you don't turn on the water at full power. Otherwise it flooded the bathroom. - Bathroom towels were very old and used. On the positive side: - great location in Madrid in Salamanca, the best neighborhood - very comfortable...
