Pros -
- A great historic 400 yr old gem right in the heart of Madrid. Walkable to everywhere or just a short ride to most touristy places.
- Excellent communication and ease of checkin by the hosts.
- Stunning 360 views from the terrace/multiple balconies offering beautiful views.
- Comfortable and plenty of space in the multi level property.
- Well equipped kitchen!
Cons -
- I counted 94 steps upto the apt. Each of various size and shape - so dont book this place if your unfit, have a lot of luggage, even if your claustrophobic or have very small kids.
- The plumbing - this is a 400 yr old property with an old fashioned plumbing system. If the units below you turn on their taps, your going to have to wait your turn (try using water during the afternoons - there's good pressure then). Fill up a pot of water first thing in the morning and set it aside for any emergency use when the water might be unavailable.
- The multi story property is not suitable for very small kids - the stairs inside are small and the steps to the terrace do not have railings.
In short, if you navigate the cons above, you'll be able to enjoy the property immensely. We'll be back when our daughter is older.
