Angela is a fabulous host. She met us at the apartment to welcome us to Madrid. She had a wonderful book of restaurant and tapas recommendations in the local area. She also suggested possible local shops that we might like. Finally she presented us with a welcome present of an amazing bottle of wine from the area.
The apartment itself is gorgeous. It is spacious, well finished and decorated. There is a fully functioning kitchen, if you would like to cook. Or you can take one of Angela’s restaurant suggestions.
We had heard about a particular paella restaurant from a friend who had been to Madrid before, but we didn’t have the Spanish to make a reservation. Angela offered to phone for us. We were delighted and greatly appreciated her kindness. After dinner, we followed her recommendations and found a wonderful bar and pool area to watch the sunset. The bar and pool are on the top floor of Oscar’s hotel, not far from the apartment. We enjoyed having a drink here. It was the perfect way to end a fabulous two day stay in Madrid.
It you are going to Madrid and Angela’s apartment is free, book it without hesitation. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay there.
