Mediocre Airbnb. The apartment is clean and stylish; however, the hospitality is severely lacking. The host offered us €40 transfer each way from Madrid airport — and the service went downhill pretty much right after we said we preferred to take the metro (a very easy trip, by the way).
The apartment lacked in little touches. There was no hand towel in the bathroom, the toilet paper was weirdly under the sink and not in its holder, there was a Nespresso machine in the kitchen with no pods, and despite a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances — only enough olive oil to cook two eggs. What’s more, my fiancé is 5’2 and had to stand on her tip toes to even wash her face at night at the bathroom sink because it was built so high.
We asked for either a late check out - or to leave our bags for just an hour after the usual check out time - and were told, bluntly, the rental company operating the Airbnb wouldn’t help us. It’s the first time after many Airbnb stays we have had a host that was so unaccommodating.
Overall, the place is more about looking nice on Instagram than comfort.
