We were lucky to find Francisco's place available for our short trip to Madrid. His apartment is clean and you can certainly appreciate all the work that has been done to it after the renovations. It is located about 20 minutes from the center of town by bus and in a quiet neighborhood. Francisco is quick to respond to questions and will provide you with lots of details of the city, bus routes, things to see, and places to eat if you ask. We also had the chance to meet him in person at the beginning of the trip, and he is also willing to meet personally at the end of the trip for feedback. We were very happy to stay at his place and would stay there again should we travel back to Madrid.
