Stylish renovated apt - 2BD2BTH -Chamberí

The location is excellent. Metro station Iglesia is ~100 metres away, but Metros lines 2 and 10 can also be reached on foot. There is a square called Plaza Olevide nearby with excellent dining options (e.g. Tapas places Tuteo and Bareta). An excellent bakery 1 corner away (Alma Nomad bakery). The place had everything necessary for a family (2 bedrooms, refrigerator, freezer, dining and sitting area, 2 bathrooms, kitchen equipment, etc.).

It is true that the bedroom in the basement had a bit of rusty smell, and the windows open to a small inner yard with not much fresh air coming in. The Internet was changed while we were there, and the new internet was working in the basement as well.

Location is great at the Chamberí

I stayed at this accommodation for 11 nights together with my husband and little daughter. It was a nightmare. This place is far from being confortable, if you are staying for a long period. The power/Electricity was out 4 times, even in periods we were working in our laptops, watching a movie. The internet does not work in the bedroom in the basement, there is no wifi range down there. There are no TVs in any of the bedrooms, only in the living room. So in the bedroom in the basement you have no internet and no TV. The flat smells mold and is very umid, there is even a desumidifier in the bedroom downstairs to cover the bad smell. The flat is on the street level, therefore there is no natural light so you have lights on the WHOLE day. You have the feeling you are living in a cave. The kitchen is very small, there is nowhere to hang a kitchen towel, no where to store food. In both bathrooms there is nowhere to hang your towels, no shelfs to put your hygienic products, all stays in the floor in the shower. I had a flood in the shower because it would not drain the water, so the whole bathroom was completely wet. The bedroom upstairs can get very hot with the AC and there is a bad air circulation up there. The flat has 3 floors, one bedroom upstairs, kitchen and living room in the ground level and a bedroom in the basement. The automatic door locker didn't work so they had to send a technician to fix it. There were issues in this flat everyday, I may say that they responded quite fast to help fix the problems. But it doesn't change the fact that this place is very bad for long stays. If you stay 2, 3 nights and eat out in Madrid, it's doable. If you plan to stay longer, keep your fingers away from booking this place! I don't recommend at all!

Very quiet, great location, great space in the kitchen and living room, with all the tools you need to make coffee, breakfast and dinner (two fridges!), and a nice washer / dryer. Air conditioning was wonderful in every room. Big closets for all your belongings and clothing. Nice soft light lamps at the bedside.

The WiFi didn't reach the downstairs - it needs an extender. We found there were not enough hooks for the towels in the downstairs bathroom, only one that was in the shower. We also found the downstairs shower tile too slippery, so you must be very careful. I would also suggest curtains for the top room for privacy and maybe something soft like a pool noodle to cover the metal beam in the downstairs bedroom so that you don't smack your foot. I would prefer to have a thicker blanket as an option, and a couple more pillows.

The downstairs bedroom was quite cold at night, could use a heater in there.

Everything

Very comfortable, Great Location, Good Communication.

The keycode door system was convenient for access, however the lack of a deadbolt or additional lock on the inside of the door meant there was no way to truly secure it when you were inside / overnight.
