We stay here for over 2 weeks during the month of August 2021. As noted by other reviewers, in older buildings like this there is no elevator. For us we did not mind the steps at all.
Pros:
+ The place is super central! There is sooo much to see and everything is walkable. Note we stayed here during August so things were very quiet
+ When we arrived Madrid was extremely hot, over 105F (40C), the air conditioners worked great. Note during hot times the main bedroom can be warm as there's no A/C. We slept upstairs without issue though
+ Great wifi, worked remotely without a single issue
+ Shower's water pressure and temperature were great
+ Host was quick and responsive
Cons:
- First understand that Spain has been in lockdown for a while. But there was a lot of maintenance issues that were not really solved the correct way. Such as the bathroom window was held being closed by clear tape. Half of the light bulbs were out in the flat.
- While there is a TV, there wasn't anything to watch (cable/netflix etc). We ended up using our laptop to watch everything
