Horrible check in at unsafe apartment
This apartment is rented through a a rental bureau called MIT House. I don't know if Marco even exist because the guy who let us in after waiting outside the door for half an hour never presented himself.
The check in was a nightmare: I wrote MIT House and gave the exact time of our arrival. I called them half an hour before arrival as requested but there was no one at the apartment when we got there. I called again and they said I should have called in advance (which I did). I told them that we would wait at the cafe by the corner and asked them to tell the host to call me when he got there. 35 minutes later I called again and was told, that the host was waiting by the apartment. But the troubles where not over: To complete the check in I had to download the MIT House app scan my passport and take a picture of my face for facial recognition and agreed to therms the app could not show me. I don't understand Airbnb allow this kind of surveillance and I will certainly get in touch with them and ask if a host can make such demands.
The apartment is brand new but are already falling apart. Loose tiles on the floor, lamps that are about to fall down from the walls of the balcony and worst of all the railing on the french door balcony was very unstable and looked like it would fall off if you leaned against it. This is a penthouse apartment so the drop is 5 floors down. It is very unsafe. I would avoid this place even if was the last available option in Madrid.
