We're just back from an incredible weekend in Madrid! We've used Airbnb quite a lot and if i'm honest I was a bit disappointed in the apartment. It does look exactly as it did on the photos and the host was there on our arrival despite us getting in late. The location is amazing, but it does make it very noisy at night and early morning. The bed in the laundry room is so squeaky that I woke up constantly throughout the night, my family staying in the main room said the same. The shower door is broken and some bulbs need replacing. We ran out of loo roll and there was no additional supplied which I thought was a bit strange. Finally and this is what we found most disappointing was the building works. We had chosen the apartment because of the 2 balconies but there was scaffolding throughout the building's front which was then covered to protect from the rain which really took away from the enjoyment. There were building works and a strong smell of paint. I really do think that building works should be stated on the advertisement/listing. The host did not even apologise about it which we thought was very odd. So in summary, the apartment looks beautiful, but we wouldn't recommend it for all the other reasons and it lacked the personal touch which is so key in having a good airbnb experience e.g. restaurant recommendations, also there was an nespresso machine in the apartment and there was an nespresso shop directly opposite in the basement but we weren't told about things like this so only realised on the last day!!
