Luis was the epitome of a super host. He always made sure I was having a great time in Madrid. Soft spoken yet understanding. In an honest misunderstanding I made the mistake of helping myself to a dessert on the kitchen counter, which was important to Luis’ catering business. Mortified at what I had done, I wanted to compensate Luis. He turned down the offer but accepted my sincerest apology.
As for the accommodations, I was in love with the rustic yet modern feel of the space. Every day I felt like I was walking out of a photo shoot in Architectural digest. The size of the room was generous yet privacy wasn’t compromised in any way.
The location was unbeatable. You are literally a 10 min walk from the Royal Palace, 15 min walk from famous restaurants, and approximately 20 min from the Prado Museum.
Do not deprive yourself, the opportunity to stay with Luis. My personal experience enhanced what was already a magical stay in Madrid. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
