We have spent a month in Spain and have stayed in a number of hotels and about 3 Air b n bs. The accommodation in Spain has been wonderful, with each place having something special to offer. Alberto's Air B nB in Madrid was our final stay for 4 days. This, for us, was the icing on the cake. Alberto communicated via email a few time before we arrived, just checking in. Navigating our way to the apartment was easy from Estachion Autobuses via the metro and a short walk due to excellent instructions on the booking site. He was waiting for us in the street and assisted with the bags, chatting all the way up. The apartment is on the top floor (about 10 flights) so you need to be fairly mobile. Alberto, took his time to orientate us to the apartment, the things to see and do in Madrid including excellent recommendations for breakfast and tapas etc. He also was encouraging to help us with our novice Spanish. He had left us a bottle of wine and some tapas as a welcome gift.
The apartment is in an amazing location, less than 100 metres from Plaza Major and good walking to a range of attractions, shopping, cafes and restaurants.
There is a bed in the loft but we chose to sleep on the sofa bed downstairs that was comfortable. It was cool enough with the window open. You can self cater and the apartment is very well stocked with everything you would need to prepare a meal and supermarkets are close by As the restaurants were so cheap and plentiful, we did not do any cooking this time. We did do some washing and the ability to do this easily is an asset when you are travelling and means Air BnBs can be much better than hotels!! We had really good wifi and that also makes a difference when you are so far away from home and children.
We loved Madrid (a truly wonderful European City) and our stay at Alberto's Air B n B, made this very special!!
