Prior to our arrival- our host Ricardo was regularly in touch with every information we needed before we arrived [ bus & train routes ] We arrived in Madrid on Wednesday 25th & as promised our host was waiting for us @ the apartment. He helped us with our bags & showed us round the very neat & spacious one bedroom apartment with a balcony & a lovely green view.
We had a comfy sofa, a lovely two door balcony, a tv and a dinning area. Very neat bathroom fully stocked with everything you need. A very clean comfortable bed with a massive wardrobe & fresh towels.
Ricardo stayed with us for a little while & took us through the exciting & interesting places to visit via the map.He also swapped numbers with us to ensure that if we needed anything we should be intouch via Whatsapp.
Our apartment was fully stocked with all the Modcons & even had white goods- it was just like being at home. We cooked & enjoyed ourselves.
The location of our AirBnB was right in the middle of everything- 3mins walk from Lavapies station[near a 24hour supermarket ], lots of small shops in the areas,10min walk from Sol & Grand Via, another stone throw from the city centre and Place Mayor. If you love curry then you're in the right place as the high street was full of Indian restaurants & lots of exciting bars. We spent most of our time in town - Cava Baja[ restaurant galore]
We stayed @ Ricardo's apartment from Wednesday 25th till Sunday 29th. On the evening of the 28th Ricardo preordered a taxi to pick us up at 5am and take us to the airport which was very kind of him .
If you're looking for a great host, a lovely homely apartment, a perfect location to everything you need with 1-2 stops away from everything then please choose this apartment. You'll be glad you did.
Thanks Oscar for such a warm welcome and for being such a great host.We will be back again if we come to Madrid.
