Our Madrid Airbnb looked a little sketchy at first — graffiti, older buildings, and a rough first impression. But was the neighborhood actually unsafe, or was it just appearances? During our 20 days traveling in Spain while the Carnival Mardi Gras was in dry dock, we stayed at this Airbnb in Madrid — and our first impression of the neighborhood surprised us. At first glance the area looked rough with graffiti and older buildings. But after staying here for several days we learned a lot about the neighborhood, safety, walkability, and whether this location is actually a great place to stay in Madrid. In this video we cover: • Full Madrid Airbnb apartment tour • Our honest first impressions • Why the area looked sketchy at first • What it was actually like staying there • Walkability and transportation • Food, shops, and local vibe • Pros and cons of this location • Would we stay here again? If you're planning a trip to Madrid and wondering: Are Madrid neighborhoods safe? Is Airbnb safe in Madrid? Where should you stay in Madrid? Are central neighborhoods noisy or rough looking? This honest review will help you decide. Madrid can look very different from block to block, and sometimes the best locations aren’t the prettiest at first glance.
