This place is in a great location! Not far from Atocha and the Retiro. You can get anywhere in the city from the train/subway or walk the beautiful park. Maite was the nicest host and was super accommodating and welcoming, she even left some dog treats and a bowl for our dog.
These weren’t deal breakers, but if you plan to stay in this place, you should know:
1. We thought the place is pretty small, which was okay for us, because we spent most of the time out and about
2. We found the place to be very humid and with poor ventilation, as the windows only open to a ground floor terrace. The AC and air purifier helped, but still very damp. There is a super strong smell in the bedroom near the nightstand, we couldn’t tell what it was.
3. The shower is very small. I’m 5FT 7IN, 185 and it was very tight for me
4. the place is tidy, but not clean. The shower and bathroom had black spots on the walls
5. The bedding was odd. The pillows were pretty worn/used. There was no comforter on the bed, but luckily we brought our own. There were some in the closet but we didn’t feel comfortable using considering the bedding/pillow situation
