Overall an enjoyable stay.
The positives:
* Central location which is great
* Super quiet
* Very comfortable bed
* Good TV which is great for longer stays
Cleaning
* Javier was flexible re check out time
* Javier was always quick to respond and helpful
Negatives:
* On the first day water from rain had entered the apartment. I note that a previous review mentioned this so it’s unfortunate this hadn’t been sorted
* Shower is extremely week and if you use the washing machine or put a lot of water down the sink, expect it to come up the drain of the shower
* The street that the apartment (Ballesta) is known as the prostitute street of Madrid so expect a number in front of the building at any time of the day. Got annoying being whistled at after a while
* The intercom to the door doesn’t work
* The front door to the building doesn’t lock but I still felt safe.
Overall The positives far outweighed the negatives.
