Sergio's flat is a beautiful space to live, work and rest. The old workshop is very nicely and carefully furnished and while you certainly realize that the space wasn't originally intended for residence, Sergio has made perfect use of the facilities and there is no functional problem that Sergio hasn't come up with a solution. The self-built furniture and the kitchen create an amazing atmosphere and even if there is not abundant natural light you always have enough to work, read, cook. As stated, you will find Sergio's flat in a working-people's district of Madrid south of the river. Since I don't mind walking or taking public transport to the hotspots of a town, I didn't mind that it took me between 20-40 minutes to get into the innercity.
Sergio was a very kind and helpful host and was always open to chat a bit. I really appreciate that he made a lot of effort to make me feel home.
