Andrea is such a lovely host and went out of her way to make my stay excellent. I arrived late in Madrid and she waited up for me, took me round the house and explained everything. She even got me dinner so I could shower and get straight to bed. Her home is a stones throw from Iglesa station. Plenty of little restaurants and bakeries around and you can virtually walk to the city centre in the lovely Madrid weather if you so wish. Her home itself is simple but everything you could possibly need. A comfortable queen bed, plenty of shelves and wardrobe space and a host of towels to keep clean. Andrea lives in the apartment with her daughter and 2 cats and keeps the place very clean. I’ve never had to wait for the bathroom either. It’s one of the few apartments with a lift which I’m entirely grateful for with my large backpack. It may have been small, but it’s better than nothing. It was the end of my trip so I was very exhausted but Andrea is always happy to have a conversation. She was almost like a mother away from home, reminding me to have breakfast and watching over my welfare. She also has two of the most adorable cats, even though I’m generally a dog person, constantly waiting to shower you with attention. They’re all very much missed and I would most definitely stay in the apartment again!
