When I arrived to his apartment on a late Saturday afternoon, peak time at Puerta Del Sol, the noise level was tremendously loud. Ohh but I have ear plugs. When 10 pm came around the noise level dropped. The whole time there it was pretty quiet with only occasional disruption. There is another guest room adjacent to my room. That is what ear plugs are for. But because of this, being in the middle of this amazing city, the heart of the city, all major attractions are in walking distant or catching the metro! I felt safe in the apartment. Henry was available in the mornings in person and/or by WhatsApp the rest of the day, even with his busy lifestyle, I could reach him when necessary. Like in previous reviews, Henry is friendly, sharing whatever he had to help make my stay there comfortable (shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, TP, use of the kitchen). Henry is a host full of heart, welcoming, easy going, responsible/reliable and generous. He made it feel like his place is my place too. There is no real dining area. There is a desk in my room where I ate after preparing a meal. Over all, I really enjoyed my stay there, feeling safe and comfortable (private bath room, AC/Heater combo, TV) as a single traveler in a strange, big city this was important for me. Thank you Henry. I hope to visit Madrid again, and definitely would consider your place! God bless you!!
