I am posting this review as part of my trip report that is here http://www.australianfrequentflyer....otos/bavaria-lake-como-madrid-nthn-69138.html
We booked this 45sq m apartment for 3 nights through booking.com. They receive great reviews and there are certainly some nice features. Modern & well equipped with a washing machine, cooking facilities & equipment, a great shower in a quirkily set out bathroom (very difficult to reach the paper from the throne etc) and located within a short flat walk along the main street to all the town’s activities. However-the bed is rock hard uncomfortable and the soundproofing from the upstairs apartment and the road noise could be better- especially with a big bike ride and a festival to contend with! For some reason the small balcony is off the bedroom rather than the living room-it was too cold to use it while we were there. We didn't use the spa facilities that are downstairs but apartment renters receive a discount on the spa services. The staff were very helpful but our lack of Spanish restricted interaction.
Maybe the reviews I read had my expectatons too high?
