There is a reason these two are super hosts! They are SUPER. Mercedes and Chris are fantastic in every way. They have renovated their apartment and are genuinely interested in sharing their lovely home and meeting new people. I felt like I was visiting family instead of staying “somewhere”. They have a positive attitude towards life and are readily available to offer help about whatever you need to know about Madrid. They make you feel comfortable and their home is quiet and peaceful. Perfect after a long trip. Aside from their wonderful qualities, the neighborhood has grocery shops nearby and the bus stop is a short block away. In 15 minutes you will be at all the big museums. Not to be missed is a local, family owned chocolate and churros place that serves made to order churros. Yum! I was traveling alone and I felt completely safe walking in this neighborhood. If you are lucky enough to stay with Mercedes and Chris you will know a little angel is watching over you.
