Myself and two friends recently stayed in Alejo's studio apartment in Madrid and I have to stay that it was easily the best airbnb experience I have had so far. Alejo was the perfect host. He met us promptly with some basics (milk, bread, jam) for breakfast and even carried our luggage! We had only one night to spend in Madrid and Alejo offered great suggestions of what to see during our short stay, including an amazing restaurant/bar that he owns, where we spent our night enjoying great drinks and amazing tapas style food. The apartment itself is perfect. It was very clean, comfortable and the large glass doors provide a ton of light and open up onto a small balcony. The location of the apartment is ideal as it is only a few minutes walk from the metro station and in the centre of the city, so we were able to walk to all the sights Alejo recommended. Despite being a studio, there was plenty of room for three of us (and all our bags).

The only problem I had was that we had to leave!

Even if you don't get the chance to stay with Alejo, I would highly recommend his restaurant 'La Linda'; Calle Victor Hugo 5. Have the squid dish.. it is phenomenal.

Would recommend this apartment 100% and would definitely stay again!

Thanks again Alejo for your amazing hospitality. You made our short stay in Madrid very memorable!
