Since Kristian could not be there to check us into the apartment as he was away for the weekend. He had instructed us to call his friend Laila who did not pick up the call for almost an hour.. we sent couple of whatsapp messages hoping that she will reply.. we tried calling her .. no answer from either from Kristian or Laila.. we waited at Madrid station for about an hour, we tried again on whatsapp call and this time she answered and asked us wait for 20 mins so that she can reach the apartment.
When we reached the apartment, Laila was kind enough to let us into the apartment and gave us few tips to get around few places.. Apartment itself is in VERY BAD state.. especially the furniture which is old and squeaky.. quality of bedding should match the price we pay.. apartment floor was very dirty and dusty.. when we sent messages to Kristian about cleaning the floor, to our utter disbelief, he asked us to send the pictures and we did so.. no response from him..
Overall, for families this is a no no place..
Good news is that, they have a place to keep your bags if you want to go around after you check out.. we thank Kristian for that..
