11/10 stars! If you’re looking for a place to stay in Madrid, look no further, for you’ve found your place! Perfect for 1-2 people. You get an incredible bedroom with a nice view of the interior courtyard. Attached to the bedroom is your own private bathroom with an amazing shower. The whole apartment is beautiful, Victor and Alonso did a great job in redesigning the place. It’s like a work of art, and looks just as beautiful in real life as it does in the photos.
I can assure any women that the neighborhood is more than safe. I felt perfectly fine walking around the neighborhood alone, both during the day and at night. The Legazpi metro stop is less than a five minute walk away, so it’s well-connected to public transportation. About 15-20 minutes to get to the city center by metro. There’s also a lot of nice restaurants nearby and a mall a 15 minute walk away that’s got a huge grocery store.
Victor was an amazing host. He was very accommodating and flexible with my arrival time. I had a late flight and didn’t arrive until 12:45am, but he waited up for me and helped me get settled in, and gave me a map and tips about navigating Madrid. Victor also speaks English so it’s very easy to communicate with him, if you’re lacking in your Spanish abilities.
Victor also cleared a shelf for me in the fridge and a shelf in the kitchen cabinets, which I loved. It’s so rare to find Airbnb hosts that allow you access to the kitchen. Given that I was staying 10 days I couldn’t afford to eat out every day, so this was a real life saver.
Victor and his partner Alonso are extremely kind, accommodating and open. They’ll make sure you feel right at home! I highly recommend them as your hosts for your future Madrid trip.
