Guest Reviews

• Andres (8/5): Fine - Ground floor Not good for people that has allergies We’ll organized and decent Forniture
• NORA LADO (1/5): Horrible experiencia, cancelaron sin aviso previo a las 22:30 - Nada El día de llegada, llegamos a las 22:00 con el código para entrar. No se podía, estaba alquilado. Nos cancelaron la reserva ese mismo día a las 22:30. Nos dejaron en la calle, sin alternativas. Cuando la reserva por 7 días estaba pagada y confirmada. Tardan más de una semana en devolvernos el dinero, 1.280,90 euros y liberar los 400 euros de fianza. El viaje era para acompañar a mi madre en un duro tratamiento oncológico. Finalmente, pasamos la noche en su casa, sentados en un sillón y al día siguiente encontramos alojamiento mucho más lejos de su casa. Horrible experiencia. Muy muy mal.
• Jamie (10/5): Great stay and safe space and really good spot local to lots of food and activities - Spacious and very clean easy access to building
• Alex (7/5): Buenos sitio, limpio pero falla el aire acondicionado - Ubicación, limpieza, facilidad de acceso. Aire acondicionado no funcionaba y persiana de la ventana bloqueada haciendo que haga mucho calor.
• Estefania (1/5): Cualquier parecido con las fotos es pura fantasía - La ubicación y el barrio donde está , agua caliente y calefacción . El alojamiento es totalmente insalubre , paredes sucias , mobiliario totalmente desgastado y roto , cabeceros de las camas con agujeros , paredes con humedad , platos y vasos cada uno de una manera , absolutamente nada de cortesía en la cocina , un pack de bayeta y estropajo es lo mínimo y no estaba , nada , mueble del baño desintegrándose , mocos pegados en las paredes , suciedad en todas partes , es asqueroso .
• Daphne Victoria (10/5): -
• Lukasz (9/5): - Mieszkanie w spokojnej dzielnicy, szybki dostep bo mieszkanie bylo na parterze, komunikacja blisko - Metro Ibiza 10min drogi, przystanki autobusowe okolo 5min drogi od mieszkania i sklepy spozywcze 2minuty drogi. Poranne udogodnienia jak kawiarnie i sniadaniownie rowniez blisko.

• Laura (5/5): Buena ubicación, buen precio, apartamento austero. - La ubicación tan cerca del Retiro y en un barrio con mucha vida es estupendo Bastante frío, solo un radiador,que hasta que entramos estaba apagado, y con piso de cerámica, resulta muy frío. El mando a distancia de la TV estaba roto y en general el apartamento estaba muy justo de comodidades.
• Phil (9/5): -
• Carka (9/5): Un seul mot : agréable. - Logement spacieux et trés bien situé. Trop peu de vaisselle. La douche n'est pas en adéquation avec celle qui se trouve sur les photos. Les travaux réalisés ont été faits de façon superficielle. C'est dommage car l'excellence pourrait être au rendez-vous.
• Colleen (5/5): Overpriced - but in a great location - The unit was in a great location, had plenty of space for two people, and was pretty clean - however, it was extremely overpriced for what it was As mentioned in several reviews, the unit lacked the basics. There was one one towel (and hand towel) per person, and it was pretty well-loved (though clean!) There were only 1-2 glasses that matched (one mug with lipstick on it), a handful of plates, no dish-towels, the coffee machine didn't work, and we could only operate the TV manually - the remote didn't work. It was fine - but for the rate, not worth it.
• rafadir (5/5): Razoável. Pode melhorar. - Localização fantástica. Roupas de cama e de banho limpas. Facilidade no checkin e no checkout. As fotos do anúncio não expressam a realidade: A) A cama não é de casal; trata-se de duas camas de solteiro encostadas uma na outra, mas com um vão no meio. B) As cadeiras da mesa de jantar são de metal, não confortáveis. C) Sujeira no chão (um bolo de cabelos) e sujeita em utensílios de cozinha (panelas e talheres), que estavam mal lavados. D) Pouquíssimos produtos de higiene pessoal, de limpeza para louças e de limpeza para roupa, considerando a reserva por um casal para seis noites: 4 frasquinhos pequenos de shampoo, 2 rodelas pequenas de sabonete, 2 frasquinhos pequenos de detergente de louça; 1 cápsula de lavar-roupas.
• Robin (7/5): Retiro apartment experience - Great location with good shops around, Retiro park and 10 minutes from the subway A little smelly due to kitchen and bathroom and bed not comfortable
• juan (2/5): Escribimos a Homeabout y recibimos respuesta 12 horas después. - Ubicación y agradable La tubería está tapada. Al bañarse se sale todo el agua de la ducha al piso. Adicionalmente, al prender la lavadora, todo el desagüe de esta sale por el sifón de la ducha, dejándola inservible por la porquería que sale ahí.

• Pamela (8/5): Muy buena ubicación si vas de vacaciones , fácil llegar al sector en bus, pero no del aeropuerto - La ubicación al llegar del aeropuerto , fue muy lejos del paradero ,sugerido por Google maps, que se notó especialmente porque llegue en la tarde con mucho calor y no encontraba la dirección . Sin embargo una vez instalada me di cuenta q habían otras alternativas mucho más cercanas con las diferentes líneas , además el sector tiene mucha oferta de restaurantes , supermercados y cafecitos . El ruido de la habitación de al lado, se escucha casi todo , conversaciones, música, hasta caminar.
• Saara (9/5): A conveniently located and well-equipped apartment. - Clean, spacious and conveniently located.
• Jose (1/5): A stressful and disappointing stay due to poor maintenance and zero support from the host. - The location was convenient — unfortunately, that’s the only good thing I can say. The lock was faulty from the start, the key broke and got stuck, we were trapped inside, and the host refused to help. We had to pay €160 for a locksmith and €35 for a new key — all because of their defective lock. On top of that, the apartment had ants and lacked basic maintenance. The host was negligent, unhelpful, and completely dismissive.
• Giulia (7/5): Well-located flat, but missing essentials and some maintenance issues. - This little flat had nice décor and a convenient location, making it easy to get around with public transport. While the space was comfortable, a few essentials were lacking, such as cooking oil, salt, and more than just two glasses for drinking. Some items seemed worn or broken, like the damaged hairdryer and wardrobe doors that were difficult to slide. With a bit more attention to replacing these items and providing basic necessities, the stay could be much better.
• Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Naoll (8/5): Great - Location and space Staff reservation coordination can improve
• Conor (9/5): Superb -
• Justin (8/5): Happy. - nicely presented. good facilities. well explained entry / exit instructions. bathroom is a long way from the bedroom.
• Carlos (6/5): Pleasant - Very poor cutlery, plates cups, etc.
• Jungwon (1/5): Such a waste of money. - None. Only one good thing about this accommodation was the location. Retiro park was beautiful, but once we came back to our room, everything was stressful and so horrific experience we had during our stay. I’m giving you 1 just because I cannot give you 0. This was the worst stay I’ve ever experienced in my life. You guys should be ashamed of your service. Your service is literally the impression of Madrid and Spain. According to reviews in the past, the same issues have been expressed for over a year, and nothing has changed. There are TOO many issues with this accommodation, but the biggest problem was the service. No one answers EVER. 1. Bugs everywhere! Ants and Cockroaches! They got into my luggage so I had to wipe multiple times before we checked out. I got ant bites on my skin. We asked you to give us bug spray or something but you never responded. 2. The AC was broken. We stayed for 8 days and it was repaired on the 6th day. WTF. Madrid was 37 degrees. They sent a handyman after I sent over 10 messages. 3. The faucet was broken in the sink. Water leaked all day. We had to adjust the handle to minimise the water leaking. Why the hell should we??? I recorded it just in case the host charge and accuse of us for excessive water use. 4. We got only one small pack of dish soap which is smaller than a business card. Please THINK when you work. We stayed for 8 days. We had to use body soap. 5. Room was not clean. You charged the cleaning fee, but the floor was dusty so I had to wipe out with wet tissue. 6. Toilet wasn't working on the first day. WE had to fix it. Isn't this a very basic thing to check..??? Give me money for fixing it. literally I was the handyman. If anyone thinks ‘Oh this is just one opinion, it may be better when I stay’, yeah go ahead. I was the same. All problems that I listed would not be big problems IF THEY AT LEAST TRIED TO DO SOMETHING OR EXPLAIN. We had huge construction noise in the previous accommodation every early morning, but we could understand because the staff explained the situation and we knew it was something they could not do. And I gave them 9 even though the facility wasn’t that perfect. Please read reviews and think about what you can do better. Stop ignoring your customers. Overall, this was the worst experience and we'll never come back to Spain and any accommodation has a similar name.
• Altynay (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tiziano (6/5): nice place, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to talk with the staff - the apartment is really nice although the walls need to be painted and cleaned the shower is pretty old and leaking
• Chris.smart (8/5): A great week in Madrid - Well placed for access to the metro and to local shops. It meant we had easy access to all the main tourist sites and the airport. The close proximity to the local school playground meant some noise in the evenings from the basketball practice. However, this was not a major problem. We would have liked a few more cups and glasses but again this was not a problem. Easy question - would we stay here again .... Yes!
• Elvin (7/5): Good -
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alessandra (8/5): satisfactoria - Location
• Mohamed (3/5): can be better! - it was a nice property, well as much it can be. I didn’t like that the AC was not working & it was super hot temperature, I didn’t like also the security deposit as it was less meaningful for me who is staying for 2 nights & it need to be highlighted In booking.com
• Giulianna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nawras (10/5): Exceptional -
• Iliana (9/5): nice and comfortable - It had everything we needed. Nice big bed and space. One day we saw at the bathroom a small cockroache, but the apartment was very clean in general.
• Marfree (8/5): Good location - Location Ac was a bit warm and also please provide the flat with more coffee cup (only one) I believe the owner need to buy more. Thanks
