I have stated at 50+ Airbnb in 8 different countries so I know what to expect.
First of all, I don’t understand why is this place Airbnb plus. This was my first staying in a Airbnb plus and was expecting more than your average Airbnb.
Here are the things wrong with this place -
1. We could not use one of the bathrooms for shower because we just could not adjust the shower for the right temperature to be able to take a shower. It would be either burning hot or cold. The faucet is very old.
2. The bathrooms have old style water geyser. If you don’t know what those are, this is basically a water heater for each bathroom. Because we could not use one of the bathrooms we were left with only 1 bathroom which meant after every second person you would have to wait for 20 mins for the water to be heated again.
3. The AC is started leaking after an hour of use. When I checked with the host, she suggested that we cannot lower the temperature below 22 degrees. If you are from Spain may be it’s ok, but for any one from America that’s too warm to sleep. Over that she had comforters to sleep with. Comforters were of very low quality printed stuff.
4. One of the bed is like a foam, super soft. Bedding’s are super cheap quality.
5. There is no elevator. You have to walk up 3 stories which we knew but what we did not know is that the stairs are antique (the building is old) and please be careful coming down, they are slippery and have a slope to them.
6. The living room is super small and all the rooms are super small. Imagine 4 small dorm rooms in a hallway and 2 common bathrooms side by side. No attached bathrooms. This place has a bad layout.
Yes , they had a bottle of 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner and Shower gel and I can understand that’s probably a big deal in Airbnb’s in Spain but I would not consider in anything special.
Good or not so good is that this place is right next to Plaza de Mayor. Historic location, you may like it or hate it to be so close to an extremely busy tourist location.
May be a good location if you want to have the feeling of staying in a historic place.
Airbnb should definitely remove the plus rating. The beautiful picture you see is of a small wall in the living room. And yes, that wall is small. Looks big in the picture.
