Firstly, my first experience of Madrid was simply.....FANTASTIC! I was running a bit late, without having a means of contact and Israel was their waiting for me. He was a absolutely fantastic host!!! The apartment was brand new, clean, modern, chic and very beautiful with huge sunlit windows opening on to the street! I am DEFINITELY staying in his apartment again next year for a great value in money! HIGHLY recommended for single travelers , young and old couples!
