I had a very pleasant stay. I would say welcoming me with coffee and cats made my travel weariness disappear. I appreciate this kind of welcome as this is exactly the homelike feel I look forward to which I think sets it apart fr hostels. Flexible checkin and checkout were much appreciated..so was being responded fast by Carmen. Simple big (if I dont hit my knee all the time then its good ;)) clean room and clean bathrooms. Location is ~15 min walk from Atocha and walkable to lots of restaurants and the museums. Nicety I found: Labels are all over the kitchen showing Chinese characters. My first time to see one :)
