Figueroa

Its location was excellent for exploring Madrid. The facilities were good to allow cooking of own meals if desired.

Reasonable walk from Madrid Atocha station (albeit easy to get to and OK once a reasonable walking route is sorted out. Also just need to be careful of load bearing pillar that do not knock into it.

2 bedrooms, 3 beds, 2 bathrooms. There were enough space for us 5. The location is lively and close to the train stations and good restaurants. Beds were comfortable, place was clean and tidy. Theres a washing machine and detergent. Its mostly quiet but its noisy at night by the living room/balcony area.

The bathroom by the hallway was inconvenient - the stopper of the shower door was short that everytime we shower, the water floods to the floor. Its noisy at night in the living room/balcony area.

Having someone there to show us the property, hand over the keys and just welcome us was great. The location was amazing, short walk to all the places you'd want to go in Madrid. Lots of places to eat, shop and take in the city all at our door step.

Nothing -

The location is incredible. It's much more central than I realised, and in a great neighbourhood.

The unit was listed as having air conditioning, but the machines it had do not count as AC in my opinion. They're bulky and extremely noisy portable units rather than properly installed ones. They were so loud that it was difficult to have work calls, and also difficult to sleep (they gave us earplugs on arrival, presumably because they're received feedback on this already). I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel like people really need to know how disruptive and uncomfortable this makes staying here. I was also very disappointed to find out that the kitchen had no salt, no cooking oil -- none of those shelf-stable items that actually make it feasible to USE the kitchen that you've paid for. We had to buy all these, which makes cooking for yourself less affordable for any stay shorter than several weeks. I asked if I could donate these items to the room when I checked out, so that future guests could use them, and was told the cleaners will throw out ALL food that's left behind, including salt and cooking oil. This seems very wasteful, in addition to the expense. I've never stayed in a rented apartment before that does this. I also found the provided supplies (toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, coffee pods) pretty stingy considering the cost of renting the apartment. I get that they aren't a hotel, but I feel like they should provide 1 dishwasher tablet per day for each day I've paid for.
