Israel’s house is lovely and he’s a genuinely nice person ! The room looks out into a lovely deck with plants and chickadees visiting . You do hear traffic but it’s Madrid and I enjoyed the city sounds. I had privacy and felt secure as a solo female in the space. There’s a peaceful vibe in the apartment. The wifi is fast . Israel is quiet , speaks English and is a non smoker. There was no second hand smoke smells like in some “no smoking” places. The shower pressure is very good and the bed was comfortable. Israel has two super long hugging pillows vs North American pillows or Euro ones. Something different but I liked them !
There is no coffee or tea facilities with the room, so I went to a lovely cafe nearby everyday for my morning coffee and evening tea and really enjoyed getting to know the locals that way. There’s a few good gyms nearby and lots of supermarkets !
I enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this space for solo female travellers !
