Fernando is a wonderful host. He made sure we had good sightseeing plans and information for each of our 5 days in Madrid. We had a room with a bath to ourselves. There were also guests in his two other rented rooms and we enjoyed meeting with them on the kitchen terrace. We made sangria together one evening on the kitchen terrace, under Fernando's direction, just one of the many gifts and nice things he did for us. We did not meet on the terrace the two evenings when his guests who smoke were present since this is where they can smoke. However, there are other parts of the house to use. As another thoughtful plus, when Fernando saw that we preferred fruit to juice for breakfast, he made sure to provide fruit. We could walk the few kilometers or take public transportation easily to all the tourist sites from his place. No wifi, so I used my husband's smartphone that had data or I used Fernando's ipad. The weather was cool enough so we could close the window at night, making it very quiet. A good place to stay, especially if you wish to save money.
