Unfortunately we found ourselves in a dirty apartment. The bed had been made with dirty sheets (hair and stains...) and all of the furniture had a thick layer of dust on it, the floors hadn’t been cleaned well either. It was late at night when we wrote to the hosts about this and they answered the next morning and sent their cleaning service to clean the apartment properly.
Once cleaned we got to enjoy the space. Jose’s apartment is a bright and beautiful loft with so much potential. It is located literally a few meters from Plaza Mayor. That makes it extremely convenient to walk around Madrid’s beautiful city center.
The only negative besides our initial problem with the lack of cleanliness is that the bed is very uncomfortable (if you have any back issues-this bed is not for you!) it is a very soft mattress on the floor.
Something worth noting is that the apartment is on the fourth floor without an elevator. This might be an issue for some people if traveling with a lot of luggage.
Aside from those points above we had a great stay, the location itself is worth the price and the apartment is spacious enough for a solo traveler or a couple.
