I came to Madrid as an erasmus student and I stayed at Belens for my first month to be able to find another place for my entire stay. Staying at Belens was wonderful. She is a very kind, helpful and loving person and made me feel welcomed from the first day. The apartment is small but it is clean and very cozy. The utilities (kitchen, bathroom) are new and modern. The apartment is very centrally located, so many touristic sights are within walking distance and if you do get tired of walking there’s a metro station (Anton Martin) very close by. The room was big with a very comfortable bed and a big mirror. I only had one drawer for my clothes, which was a bit unfortunate because I stayed for a month and had many things with me. So I kind of had to live out of my luggage. The room has two small windows but without any curtains or blends, so if you wake up due to sunlight in the morning it might not be ideal for you. I didn’t mind because once I’m sleeping not much can wake me up =). So to sum up, I had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting Belen very much. She was always up for a chat, which I enjoyed very much! I sure hope I can visit her again soon! Thanks Belen for making my start in Madrid so great!
