Not an issue for us but some may not like the noise levels due to a few popular bars outside on the street. Small bathroom but enough.

Friendly staff met us easily on arrival, good location for exploring and Sol metro station 2 mins away, despite only being a sofa bed it was comfortable.

The five flights of stairs. If you have any mobility issues, knee or hip pain then bear in mind there is no lift.

The roof terrace, the very comfortable bed and great location.

Access to the house is somewhat difficult. Stairwell quite narrow, steps a bit too high. Not recommended for disabled people or people who are not particularly physically fit.

The location is ideal, only 150 m from the center. The terrace is very good, we enjoyed it.

Pull out sofa wasn’t comfy. Part of the shower was broken, steep stairs and small noisy room.

Central location and clean

This is a tiny duplex with toilette and shower on the first floor and you have to climb (very unsafe) stairs to reach the bedroom. The shower cabin is a bit small. Also, to reach the apt you need to climb 4 floors and the stairs are (very gently speaking) look scary and unsafe - When we say these stairs for the first time, we were shocked. But after 1 day we got used to them. The street is very noisy, even at 4 am. But closing all windows and activating the AC solves this problem. My recommendation: Maybe this is the best apt the city center can offer, but to see the city you don't have to take an apt in the center. A good apt 2-3 km from the center is preferable.

The location is in the center of the center of the city. The apt has a nice terrace. The owner is friendly and speaks perfect English. The apt is renovated and very well equipped, it has everything one needs for a short or long stay. We arrived 1 hour after the check in time, the owner didn't mind. The price seems reasonable for an apt in the heart of the city. Advice: To reach the apt from the airport, take a train to Atocha station, and then metro (1 stop) to Puerta del Sol. Alternatively, taxi is 30 Euros (fixed price) will bring also to Puerta del Sol (you'll have to walk 5 min).

There was no coffee machine or kettle which I found quite surprising. The shower room also has quite a bit of mold on the ceiling and the apartment was not super clean in general, a fair bit of dust. Although there is a lift it doesn’t reach the ground floor or the top floor (appartment is on the top) so you have to walk up quite a few stairs - not ideal if you have accessibility issues and/or lots of bags I also found it strange that this apartment is not at the listed address. The host met me outside the listed address and walked with me to another place which is five mins away on foot. As a woman travelling alone, I didn’t feel particularly safe following someone I’d just met to an unknown location.

Fantastic terrace, full sun and great views! Worth it for this alone. Comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. Super great location. Friendly host who you need to meet to get the key.

It doesn't have an elevator. The stairs are narrow and very steep. Also, it was very noisy. Because the many bars around didn't close until late to be able to sleep, I had to use earplugs. The washing machine was falling apart, and it barely worked.

The location was excellent. It was right next to Sol. It was easy to walk to many major attractions. There were bars right outside the door. There were also many restaurants and shops close by.

No lift, to say sth.

The location, the facilities and the staff.

the towels weren’t that clean and the bathroom smelled a little bit.

location is perfect

A few stairs to get to the apartment which was fine but might be something to note if you have lots of luggage etc. we would stay here again

Excellent location, walking distance to all main things, we didn’t need to catch any public transport. Staff very accommodating and helpful to us during our stay.

You need to be aware of stairs to get to the floors, steep and tight It can be noisy but that's what madrid at night is about at night

Location amazing for tourist sites, food, bars, metro renfe, everything you needed was in the apartment, cooking, laundry etc

The washing machine seems very old. We used the fast wash program which was supposed to be 35 minutes but it took almost 2 hours to finish... It could also use some cleaning.

The studio is very well-located. We visited the main places by walking and there are so many shops & restaurants close by. The studio is nice for 2 people. It's not very spacious but it has everything you'll need. The host was very responsive and friendly. He met us at the studio to give us the keys (he even prepared 2 sets of keys!) and check-in went smoothly.

Don’t book it if you are not planning to spend most of your nights out until really late. The noises of the bars around are absolutely unbearable, impossible to sleep until 5/6am with people screaming down the street all night long… (You can still hear those noises even with earplugs and the window closed.)

Great location, the owner is really nice and friendly, really clean apartment with everything you need and nice balcony!

It is noisy. So noisy in fact, that I only recommend this room for those who are good sleepers. Does (like myself) who are having trouble sleeping in general will be disappointed. The bars in the street are open until 1-2 a.m. and drunk tourists are singing and shouting until even later. However this is not a secret the location is downtown with pubs and bars. Also there were some construction in the neighboring street, which started early and with a lot of noise:) The bed is quite basic (IKEA couch) not the most comfortable but that is not a huge problem.

The location was the best there is, everything super close and within walking distance. Shops, bars, cafés etc. The public transport is also reachable in 2 minutes. Antonio, our host is a charming guy, helpful, punctual and reliable, provided us with every info we needed. The small balcony (enough for two person to sit) is also a plus.

needs some extra energy to get up to 5th floor by stairs.

center to everything.

The towels and the bedsheets were slightly old/dirty. The sofa bed was not the most comfortable.

The hospitality of the host and the location are definitely a plus. You can reach most of the attractions by foot.

very small, not like the pictures, bed and sofa are the same, incredibly expensive for what it was

in the city center and near to a lot of things to see, really nice neighborhood

We would have given anything for a lift, as the apartment was on the 5th floor, and the stairs very steep and narrow. I wouldn't recommend it for unfit or very elderly guests. The bathroom was very small and the shower cubicle was 'compact', so a larger bathroom would have been more comfortable, particularly for larger bodies. If we return, we'd probably look to hire Antonio's apartments on the first or second floor, for less challenging access. :-)

Our host, Antonio, asked us to call him when we were 30 minutes away from the apartment, and he was there 5 minutes after we arrived, with the keys to greet us, and offer to carry both of our bags up the 5 sets of steep stairs to the apartment. The apartment was bright, well equipped and clean, and had a lovely sunny terrace. The location was perfect for us, right in the middle of the bustling old town, with lots of tabernas, restaurants, and lovely old buildings close by. Our host, Antonio was excellent, helpful, attentive, and even allowed us to leave our cases in his office building during our last day, whilst waiting for our evening flights.

Stairs no lift no ideal if you have heavy bags

Antonio was amazing , ever helpful, always meets you with a warm smile , accommodating, did his best to make my stay comfortable

The excellent, safe location comes with a downside- it is noisy. The street the apartment is on has popular restaurants and cafes that the locals hang out until very late at night. The apartment is on the 4th floor with steep steps. If you have trouble with stairs or have a lot of heavy luggage, this would not be a good option. If you travel light, it's great.

The location is excellent. It is within 15 of just about all major attractions. There are many restaurants, cafes and small markets nearby. It also seems to be very safe. The apartment was very clean and had everything you would need for a short stay. It also has a great balcony. The wifi is excellent, too
