I stayed with Macarena and Ferdinand for one week on holiday, and was sorry to leave when the week was over. The room was perfect for one person and the apartment was large and located in a good area of Madrid. Ferdinand has studied English and speaks fluently, while Macarena speaks English much better than she thinks she does. I had many long and interesting conversations with both of them. Without their recommendation I would never have taken day trips to Segovia and Toledo. I really enjoyed taking time out from Madrid and exploring these smaller towns because they both were special and unique. If you are going to Madrid, I recommend that you stay with these two warm, friendly and kind people in their lovely home.
