This was our first time using airbnb, and our first time in Madrid. We were meeting our son, who had been studying abroad, and wanted accommodations that were large enough for the three of us to be comfortable for a week. Sergio's apartment was perfect. It was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. There were two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a comfortable leather sofa and chaise, a dining table and a modern kitchen with a washing machine. My son could wash his clothes, and we relaxed with a DVD from Sergio's collection. It was nice to shop at the excellent market nearby, and eat breakfast at the apartment before starting out for the day. The apartment is well located near 2 metro stops, but we walked everywhere. The apartment is in Salamanca, a safe upscale neighborhood with top designer stores, if you're into that. There are also small grocery stores, patisseries, restaurants and lots of local character. Sergio is a very nice, easygoing person. He lives upstairs and is very responsive to any concerns, and is extremely helpful in answering questions and giving suggestions. I'd give this experience 10 stars if I could.
