We had been to Madrid before, stayed in a not very good hotel and didn’t think much of the city. We had no desire to go back to Madrid, but were compelled to return this week for meetings. We rented a car to be able to get to our meetings and get out, so we needed parking. Anabel’s place came up as the first option. In the end we felt so at home there and really enjoyed the city. What a difference to stay in a place that feels like home. It was so clean and so cozy. After a long day we just wanted to go back and relax at the apartment, which felt like it was the home of a good friend . It wasn’t in the dead centre of the city but it was very close so no noise from the bustle but certainly easy to get to anywhere in town in a few minutes. The parking space helped a lot. You’d be hard pressed to find a place with parking any closer to the centre of town to be honest. Anabel’s brother showed us the place when we arrived. He was so friendly and warm that he set the scene for us to have such a lovely time in Madrid. We will make a point of coming back here.
