This was our first Airbnb experience and it was a great start. Both the apartment and the hosts were perfect.
Alicia and Carlos were very good at sharing key information before we arrived including suggestions on what we could focus on doing/seeing during our short stay in Madrid. At the end of our stay they also allowed us to leave our bags in the apartment for an extra half day.
The apartment felt very modern, was not cramped (there were three of us), was very clean/tidy and was well equipped. Although we ate out most of the time (loads of restaurants and cafes near bye) the kitchen provided all we would have needed had we decided to eat in.
Beds were very comfortable with good quality linen.
The apartment does not have 'views' from the windows but it is well situated in old Madrid and a few minutes walk in any direction will give you all the views you will need.
Metro line is a short walk away and taxi's are always around.
If you are coming to Madrid for the first time (or coming back) then we would have no hesitation in recommending Alicia, Carlos and their apartment.
Big thanks to Alicia and Carlos.
