A terrible experience — unsafe, misleading, and not as advertised
NOTHING! THIS IS A SCAM
A terrible experience — unsafe, misleading, and not as advertised
This felt like a scam. The property appeared to be undergoing renovations, yet it was being rented out in that condition.
First, the property appeared to be a commercial space being rented as an apartment. There were no windows, no additional security measures, and the glass door was CRACKED. There were no keys, only an access code, and no way to lock the door from the inside. I was traveling with my 3-year-old daughter, and she could easily open the door and walk straight out onto the street. This was EXTREMELY UNSAFE and completely unacceptable for a family with a young child.
There was NO kitchen, microwave, dishwasher, or anything to cook with. These are some of the main reasons people choose an apartment rental over a hotel room. The property had two floors but only one air conditioner, located in one of the bedrooms. There were no fans or other ways to keep the rest of the property cool.
The bathrooms were incomplete, and construction materials were scattered around the property, creating additional safety concerns.
However, the worst part was dealing with the people managing the property. When I raised my concerns, they treated me as if I were making things up and told me that I had seen the pictures before booking. THE PHOTOS ON THE BOOKING LISTING DID NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL PROPERTY AT ALL. The furniture, closets, kitchen, and overall setup were completely different. Nothing matched what had been advertised.
When I asked for help, they initially told me there was nothing they could do. After I explained that I could not stay in such unsafe conditions and left the property, they suddenly claimed that they had finally looked at the pictures and acknowledged that the apartment should not have been in that condition. Despite this acknowledgment, they are still refusing to refund my money.
I am also extremely disappointed with Booking.com’s handling of this situation, as I feel that I have no

Excellent location, but serious issues need to be addressed
The location was excellent and very convenient. Unfortunately, our experience with the apartment itself was very disappointing. There was a strong, persistent musty, mold-like odor throughout the apartment, especially in the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. We also found peeling paint ( see photos) and ants in one of the beds. We were traveling with our 5-year-old grandson, which made these conditions even more concerning.
The apartment looks attractive in the listing photos, but our actual experience was very different. The odor and condition of the property made our stay uncomfortable and unpleasant.
We would not recommend this accommodation in its current condition. We hope the property takes these concerns seriously and resolves the odor, downstairs room condition, and ant problem before hosting future guests

The property has potential due to its location and basic amenities, but the maintenance and condition need significant i
• The location is very good, with easy access to central Madrid.
• The WiFi connection was strong and reliable throughout the stay.
• The property was relatively quiet, which made it easy to rest.
• The listing photos do not accurately reflect the current condition of the property. It feels more worn than advertised.
• The basement bedroom was in poor condition, with visible mould, chipped paintwork, and damaged tiles, including broken tiles inside the cupboard.
• The basement bathroom had exposed pipes hanging from the ceiling, which raised safety concerns.
• The dishwasher was not usable. The door fell off immediately when opened, and the spring mechanism does not support it properly.
• The hot water supply was limited and did not last for three consecutive showers in the morning.
La ubicació és perfecte si vas a Madrid en tren. Molt a prop de l'estació d'Atocha, al costat del Retiro i molt a prop del barri de Las Letras.
Apartament en molt bon estat de conservació i de neteja.
Tot molt bé. Per fer un comentari de millora, hi ha un parell de làmpares de lectura q no funcionen pq no hi ha endolls on connectar-les.

Ubicación perfecta y decoración bonita.
Mucha humedad en la parte de abajo especialmente, huele mucho. Para pasar un par de noches o 3 está bien, si no, mejor no considerar esa habitación.

O quarto do porão era todo mofado . Inclusive as paredes do banheiro desta suíte. Só usamos os quartos de cima.
Como a porta do apartamento é direto na rua achamos um pouco inseguro. Sugiro alguma trava interna . Quando todos já estiverem dentro do apartamento. Como por exemplo uma grade.
