The apartment exceeded our expectations. The pictures made it feel smaller than it actually is. It’s well equipped with plenty of towels, sheets, appliances (including a juicer, two coffee makers, a toaster and more). The bed is King-sized and I slept comfortably with my partner compared to most other Airbnbs which tend to opt for Queen-sized more often than not in our experience. You have electric shades to sleep comfortably in the darkness, and the street is quiet, so we got the best sleep in this leg of our trip compared to other cities/towns we stayed in. You’re well situated in walking distance (20-25 minutes) from Puerta del Sol, although we definitely recommend the subway in Madrid and you’re near several different stations here. The neighborhood (Salamanca) is upscale, very safe, very beautiful, and has some affordable shopping options and others that… well… they’re good if you like to window shop.
The hosts were very communicative and since they offer several properties you can tell they’re experienced, everything was very professional. You pick up the keys roughly 5-10 minutes walking distance away from the Atocha train station, which is about 5-8 minutes away in taxi to the Airbnb (the taxi cost us around 6 euros). Assuming you’re arriving to Madrid via train that’s how I’d recommend handling the check-in personally.
