Arturo’s place was as central as you could wish for. Just steps from Plaza Cibeles, when you walk out of the listing in the evening you’re instantly greeted with endless options for food, drink, fun and the best Madrid has to offer. The place itself is rustic and raw, you’re essentially paying for the privilege to crash in a real life artist’s studio. Every square inch of the place is covered in art and creativity. If you’re looking for a squeaky clean, pristine, hotel-like experience — keep looking. This was the most bohemian of all the listings I’ve ever stayed in, truly a place to rest your head and live like a local. Arturo is attentive, helpful and responsive, everything you could ask for in a host.
