Ever travel somewhere new and feel super excited but yet, a little nervous too? Take that feeling and triple it then times it by 1,000! Haha! That's how I felt leaving the states for Madrid. First, Madrid is absolutely fantastic and second, Alberto's place gave me such peace of mind knowing that I had a safe, clean, functioning place to rest my head every night. I cannot say enough about Alberto's apartment! We had everything we possibly needed from laundry detergent to a hair dryer. These things might seem "small" but when you stay at other places and they provide you with nothing, this cozy apartment was filled with everything you need. Alberto owns the store downstairs from his apartment so as soon as we located the street (which was a bit tricky, so definitely use the map he sends!!) he was there with a HUGE smile and a warm hug! He takes the time to not only explain everything in detail, but also welcome you to his place with snacks, water and Spanish wine! It is also comforting to know that he is right downstairs if you should have any questions or you can email him and he replies within minutes! I am so happy we found this little gem in the center of such a fun, bustling city! If you have the opportunity to stay here consider yourself lucky because hands down, Alberto, along with his apartment, is AMAZING!! I would recommend this AirBnB over and over again!!! Muchas gracias Alberto, te pasaste!!
