Juan was out, so it was Manu who was my host. He accommodated me last minute, which i appreciate.
Staying with Manu went very smoothly. From the start he was accommodating. Incredibly easy-going. He said I could come by in the afternoon to drop my things, or on the evening (this was a Saturday).
He invited me to join a little intercambio group, with students from different countries, which was nice of him. We went out in the evening to watch futbol and to get tapas, and I had a great time! It was a good way to end the day. :) While we were out he also returned to the house to let another bnb-er in.
Manu was easy to communicate with (in Spanish, at least--we didn't end up speaking any English!) and was easy-going and friendly. I didn't know a soul in Madrid when I arrived, but if feels like I left with a few friends. :) I'd say he's an especially good host for someone in their twenties or thereabouts.
The room itself was small, but I thought the room / bed were both fine. I just needed to be quite when I entered because someone was already asleep. No problems though. As I said, everything went smoothly! Thanks, Manu!
