Myriam was an absolutely lovely host. I felt right at home during my solo trip to Madrid. Though this is not located in the central tourist area, it is a very safe, quiet residential area located in an affluent neighborhood near Av. America and lots of shopping. She made me feel very welcome to the city. There is a comfortable bed, large desk, good heating and light, and a well-appointed private bathroom for your use. The dog, Pipa, is also adorable. I would highly recommend for a solo trip or work stay in the city!
