We were happy about the check in process and the communication with the host, which was great. The flat is well located but in our opinion it would benefit from some maintenance and refurbishing. The shutters in the living room were not working and for some reason the extra bed we had asked for wasn’t set up in the 3rd bedroom and one of us had to sleep in the sofa bed - which, without shutters was quite uncomfortable. Overall, the kitchen and bathrooms are outdated and showing advanced signs of wear and tear that could be easily resolved by some renovation efforts. It should also be made clear that the parking is 2 blocks away and not in the building itself - this information is crucial and not mentioned anywhere. We had an OK stay for a 1 night layover but were expecting a better value for money for our time in Madrid.
