First time in madrid the central location of the Airbnb was the initial attraction. Unfortunately there were a few issues which need to be addressed.
1.	Air conditioning- the unit advertised central air but each bedroom lacked sufficient air to sleep comfortably. Understanding that with an air temp during the day reaching 100 degrees the apartment can be impossible to cool. But at night even with lower air temperatures the bedrooms were unbearable. We asked for and were promised fans but we never received. The maintenance specialist cleaned the air filters but that did not improve the efficiency of the air conditioner
2.	THE NOISE - Previous reviews mentioned noise from the busy street. THIS IS NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT. We understand- this is not in the control of the host- but this must be taken seriously. Ear plugs are not sufficient. Noise canceling headphones to sleep are necessary. On the Friday night the noise was at a maximum both in terms of decibel level and length of time.
3.	Overall the place was spacious enough for a group of 11. Plenty of bedrooms and adequate bathrooms. The apartment could use some sprucing. I believe the pictures online are outdated Also, there were no washcloths, typical of European style, so if that is important to you bring your own.
4.	In a few of the bathrooms mold was present and water damage was obvious.
5.	Overall I would recommend for those that plan to be outside for most of the night and prefer a nightlife scene. If you prefer more quiet relaxed evenings look elsewhere
