Julian is a wonderful superhost! On our first day, he wasn’t in town, so we were greeted by Mariana, who was just as friendly and welcoming. She gave us some local tips and allowed us to leave our bags in the house, and she let us know when the room was ready. When we asked if we could use the washing machine, Mariana was so kind to help us do the laundry instead! When we met Julian, he was very hospitable and sincere. He gave some local recommendations that made our stay in Madrid even better. On our last morning, he surprised us with breakfast and we were really grateful for all his little thoughts and actions that made us feel at home. When we chatted with both Julian and Mariana, they were very patient as we aren't very fluent in Spanish/French. Julian's house was also extremely clean and neat, and there was always coffee/tea available. His place was also conveniently located as it is just 4 metro stops away from the city centre and walking distance from Atocha railway station. It was a pleasure to stay with him and we hope to return someday!
