Estudio en Malasaña - Calle Tesoro

Morning barking of the neighbor's dog

Unfortunately, my stay was far from pleasant. The room was freezing, with no proper heating despite the cold weather outside. The bed was very uncomfortable, and the mattress was of poor quality. The owner was extremely rude and unhelpful. Upon arrival, he insisted on an immediate €100 transfer, and when I couldn’t complete it instantly, he refused to wait until the next day and forced me to book another room for the first night, even though I had already paid for this one. Later, I lost the key—an accident that could happen to anyone. Instead of simply replacing the key, he charged me €70 to change the entire lock. On top of that, I had to travel across the city to pick up the new key from his friend, costing me another €70 in Uber fares. The overall experience was incredibly disappointing. It’s not worth the trouble or stress. A hotel would be a much better choice, offering respect, comfort, and proper hospitality.

To collect the keys was a bit of a hassle.

On the first day the fuse responsible for the boiler burned out, there was warm water for only 2 days, then I had to wash with cold. The owner did not answer my messages. The cleanliness of the kitchen raises questions. The washing machine is dirty.
