Eduardo's penthouse in Madrid was everything we could have wanted and more. As we explored the city, we knew more and more each day that we had made the right choice with this apartment. The location is absolutely perfect. It's right in the center of everything wonderful and far enough away from the tourist-type-places. Anything you could possibly want is within a 10 minute walk; excellent coffee and service at Bocono, healthy fruit/veggies/juice at the market across the street at La Huerta, bakeries galore, shopping, nail salons for affordable drop in massages, and plenty of amazing restaurants. The rooftop on the apartment was incredible. We watched the sunset, did yoga, and spent many nights reading comfortably from above lovely Madrid.
When we first arrived, Eduardo took the time to show us around the apartment and also went out of his way to take us on a mini-tour of the neighborhood. Totally unexpected and wonderful. I mentioned being vegan and he knew just the places to show us so that we can eat and be happy and healthy. Eduardo knows EVERYONE in Madrid and graciously showed us around. We met him later on in the week for a drink and again he gave us his recommendations for food, drink, and entertainment. He was constantly available for any questions/needs we might have. Eduardo really is the perfect host. We ventured on from Madrid to Milan and Greece, and at each stop we find ourselves remembering how great Eduardo was and how high he set the bar for the rest of our airbnb hosts. None of them compare.
In summary - excellent location, nice, clean apartment, amazing rooftop, and unbeatable host. We will be back!
