Apartamento Retiro Place en Madrid

We enjoyed the quiet location and the apartment was quite comfortable. It was clean and our teenage girls loved the decor. The windows in the living room were very nice to open for fresh air. The little restaurant downstairs was very accommodating and enjoyable. The only downsides were a shower that was slow to drain, the kitchen didn’t have a towel or paper towels to dry anything on and there were no cooking utensils. Nothing major and did not impact our stay. Overall it was lovely!

The front room was nice but we couldn't enjoy it the first night (a Wednesday) as the apartment is right above a Cervezeria and there was a loud group singing, eating etc. out on the sidewalk until late. Luckily, the next few nights were quiet as they were closed, probably for the holiday weekend. Beware if you are choosing this apartment for a quieter area. The bedrooms were more insulated from the sound which was a plus. However, the windows were facing the interior of the building, so not a lot of natural light, and no view. In the master bedroom, the wardrobe was wonky (not well made or assembled?). The bathrooms felt dated or not well-maintained (shoddy tile work). The shower pipes in the master bath made a really unpleasant screeching sound, the sliding door looked like it was coming off it's track, and there were metal bars sticking out that must have been for shelving.The kitchen is very outdated and what the pictures don't show is the lack of lighting over the small table. Instead, there is just naked wiring hanging down. The only light was unfinished neon tube lighting. We were not comfortable cooking there because the hood vent was did not work. It's clear that this is a known problem as part of it was chipping and part of it was taped.The location itself is nice, though we found it hard to find a good grocery store nearby. Overall, we did not find this to be as comfortable or as pleasant as a stay as we had hoped and certainly not at this price point.

We came to Madrid for a Family wedding and it was the perfect location and size of house. Communication with staff was always perfect and check in process was in a different location than the home but staff super friendly and in no time we had the keys.

Nous avons attendu 30 min devant l’immeuble avant que l’on nous remette enfin les clés alors que nous et avec un bébé de 2 mois et que nous avons prévenu comme demandé 30min avant Nous avions réservé un lit bébé qui a été confirmé mais lorsque nous sommes arrivés il n’y en avait pas de dispo. Nous en avons eu un le lendemain Par manque de chance suite à une fuite d’eau dans l’immeuble. Nous avons eu une coupure d’eau de 10h00 du matin à 15h00 Sinon, à part toutes ces mésaventures, nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans un appartement bien décoré et bien situé
