This was my first time in Madrid (and Spain in general) and I was travelling solo. On my first day, Cristian was generous enough to let me check in early as I had to catch the first flight out into Madrid from Portugal. Throughout my stay Cristian was extremely generous with his time and gave me advice about what to check out in Madrid and the best times to go to places, he even gave me a metro card for whenever I wanted to use the train :) His generosity extended to making me feel free to have whatever food he had in his house and on my first night we even shared dinner together, really great guy!
On my last day my train to Barcelona was late into the day and Cristian allowed me to leave my bags at his place whilst I explored the city during the day, this was such a great saver!
I would highly recommend booking this place, the host is amazing and the location is super central to all the attractions whilst still being in a quiet area outside of central Madrid. I literally walked everywhere but if you want, Atocha station and the bus stops are right at your door step so using public transport is also a convenient option. Thank you Cristian and I hope to see you soon!
