Alberto is a fabulous host, perhaps the best Airbnb host that we have had on this or any prior trip. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the historic district. We didn’t need to take a taxi anywhere. Alberto’s communication with us while we were still at home in Canada was the best we have ever seen. He provided detailed maps and suggestions. upon arrival, Alberto met us outside and helped us take our suitcases up to his apartment. He provided the usual map plus many other items to help us navigate our visit to Madrid. The apartment includes a bedroom and a pull out couch if you need a second sleeping place. There is a washing machine for clothing in the apartment and closing dries very quickly. The air conditioning system works very well. Alberto runs the Curiosity Shoppe just beneath the apartment, so he is always available if you need him. Feel free to drop in and see his store and give him your greetings and thanks. Feel free to look up my reviews of local sites on TripAdvisor. Sanford W.
