Ian and Paul are the best hosts one can hope for, they were super friendly, hospitable, considerate, and communicative. Their beautiful apartment is located in a great part of town, the metro is easy accessible and it was very easy to Uber/cab to various locations of the city. Their recommendations of local eateries were on point and the advice they gave me on Spanish culture nuances were super helpful (i.e. how to order a beer/drink properly). I HIGHLY recommend this room for anyone who is hoping to absorb the essence of Madrid. It made a world of a difference in what was, for me, a fantastic experience.
