I had a wonderful time at Alvaros place. I spend more than a week in the studio and felt immediatly at home. The neighborhood is one of the best in Madrid at present, very hip and trendy. But as soon as you are in the studio, it is like a little island. It is quiet, bright and clean. And I have never had such a relaxed landlord - he explained me everything on arrival and gave me great recommendation for sightseeing or going out.

If I come back to Madrid, I would definitely try to stay there again. :-)
