  : The handing over of the keys could have been smoother - we had to wait. Also, the balcony announced on the room description is actually shared between multiple flats.

Good

  : Centrally located, cozy place, most things you need.
  : Small, and you likely bumb your nKnees and head. Not suitable for older people due to 5 stories staircase and no elevator.

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : The property is good and clean and a good location
  : They don't give me the room according what I booked.

Pleasant

  : The shower head was loose, my dad's head was hit by the loose shower head after he closed the water tab. Actually the shower head would always drop down suddenly once you finish your shower. It's quite dangerous. The pillow is quite uncomfortable, hard and high. The bathroom door could not be closed properly. The shower water becomes cold when the third person starts to take shower. ( we had 4 four people.) The owner of the apartment sounds quite nice, and was OK with me giving the reservation money after we arrived. But she did not give back the change. Although it's small amount, but she should not forget it, which leaves not very nice impression for customer. The apartment itself is OK, but if you are a light sleeper, then you would hear street noise even after midnight.

Very Good

  : Position is very good - 10 minutes to all major attractions of Madrid. If you have a car, there are two convenient parkings on Calle Atocha, but not very cheap - 35 euros for 24 hours. Apartment is small, but very useful. One of the rooms is equipped with one double bed and one separate bed, in the guest room there is a extendable sofa. 4 people can spend the night, but they have to be in a close relation. For two is more than OK. Kitchen is ready for all what you shall prepare - there is a toaster, a microwave, an oven and induction stoves, Pans, pots, forks, knives, glasses - all is there. In the guest room is a fancy old table with 4 chairs - so you can have a breakfast or dinner with no problems. Bathroom is well equipped and full with nice towels. There is no bad smell in the apartment - it is very clean and the old beams on the ceiling give a feeling of history.
  : The terrace is nice, but to reach it you have to be not fat and lazy. The entrance is very small and is on top of small stairs - so you need to be well trained and in a good fitness condition. Sure, it is a terrace on the roof, but you must be prepared, because in the information of the host this is not spoken. When you reach the appartment, you have to fill immediately a form for registration, to shoot it with camera and to send it to the owner, in order to be registered. More over, you have to put this form/s/ in a letterbox down by the exit. My opinion is, this could be made trough booking or mail, and so you will save time and nerves. And be prepared, the apartment is on the roof of 4 floor building without lift.
