I´m living in this apartment now, and it´s great. When I came to Madrid on thursday, the owners picked me up at the airport. Can you belive that - it would never happend in Norway!!! The building is brand new, only five years old. The "barrio" is in the city center, it´s close to "everything".
The apartment is quite small (40 sq.m), but it´s perfect for 1-2 persons. Kichen, livingroom, bedroom and bath; it`s fully equiped (washingmachine, iron, even a hairdryer, towels, bedelinen...), the owners has also left a mobilephone, for the americans who can`t use their own in Europe. Alberto told me that the apartment is rented out until february next year, but they might get a cansellation???

Anyway, I fully recomend others to rent this apartment, who I found on this site. If anybody has some questions, please feel free to ask!

Ahora I`m having a great time in Madrid

Ohh yes, the apartment looks just like the pictures.

I take it all back; it was too good to be true

The owners seemed to be very nice persons; they picked me up at the airport and were very helpful to me. I spent one month in the apartment and was very pleased with everything. When I left, I got back my deposit on 100 Euro.

After I came home, the owners sent me e-mail where they accused me to have broken glasses and dishes, and a doorstopper was broken as well. They also accused me to have made damages on the sofa bed (the main frame was badly bent). Finally they asked me to send them 300 Euro as a compensation for it

I was and I am so insulted!!!

I didn’t broke or damage anything. My stupidity was that I trusted them for knowing what was in the apartment and for checking the place before I came. There was no list of inventory, and I didn’t open the sofa bed to check if there was something wrong with the main frame.

How can you damage a sofa bed, when you just sleep on it

But what I do know is that the owners didn’t check it either, because when they showed me how to open it – it was full of crumbs under the sofa pillows.

So my advice to others who have rented this place, please check the apartment very carefully. Then you might avoid receiving e-mails like I did.

(But beside that, and beside that I was robed one early sunday morning - I had a great time in Madrid - and I can’t wait to get back.)
