I was late leaving the apartment and Jose gave me an extra 20minutes to get my stuff together. This was much appreciated.
The location is fantastic. There are plenty great shops, delicious restaurants and cool bars around.
The flat is also quiet, which is impressive given the area it's in.
My Spanish isn't great but it's normally enough to get by; it would be helpful if you speak Spanish as Jose doesn't speak English. We communicated through an app on Jose's phone.
There was a lady in the building who kept shouting "tourista" at me. I was polite and explained (in Spanish) that I was in Madrid for work for a few days. But she was angry and rude. She shouted at me again in the street the next day.
The toilet doesn't flush very well, and there was still pee in the toilet from the last guest when I arrived.
The heater takes a while to get warm but is fine once it gets going.
I bought some washing tabs to use the washing machine, hopefully the next guest is able to use these, otherwise there is a Carrefour (shop) on the same street that has everything you need.
All in all, it was fine and the location really is incredible.
