Before we left for Madrid, Kristian told us that he could not be there in person, but his friend Laila would receive us. She was really kind, and even though she did not speak English, she did everything she could to explain us the nice places where we should go and where to get nice food :-) overall, we felt really welcome! The apartment had everything we needed, even a bath! The boiler was just too small to fill it, though, but we had a good laugh filling the bath with some pots of boiled water from the kitchen. Everything was very clean and the location was perfect - right between two metro stations, among which Puerta del Sol. Overall, we had a great couple of days - a nice start of 2017!
