PROS: The hosts were accommodating of our early checkin request and the location is GREAT!! The apt is close to subway, taxi stand, currency exchange, the Madrid hop on off bus tour (Stop #21 on the blue line). Plenty of places to eat, supermarket, even famous USA American food McDonalds, Burger King and KFC.
CONS: The apt’s ground floor reference is not accurate because you will enter the building on the ground floor but you then have to go down a VERY narrow spiral staircase to get to the unit. This is a 2 bdrm basement unit
The post states there are 3 beds. The unit has 2 beds with mattresses and a old crackled futon (picture has it looking newer) in the main living area which can open to accommodate maybe 2 small adults.
BIGGEST CON: The building front door. It’s no secret either. The lock on the buildings main door is defective. It took us way too long to jiggle, hope and pray the door would open. I’m sure there is a method to that madness ... I would have preferred to not have to deal with it.
