This was my first time in Madrid and I did love staying at Isabel’s place. To begin with, Isabel was a terrific host. Very welcoming, she gave me all the basic information I needed to navigate the city, including maps and sightseeing guides. And if you like to have smart conversations about the city and the country, Isabel is the right person for that. As for the place, I was there for three nights. It is fantastically located. Atocha is a lovely neighborhood that is near to the most important museums of Madrid (such as Museo del Prado and Museo Reina Sofia). It is also close to El Retiro Park, one of the biggest green areas of the city, as well as to the Atocha railway station. Isabel’s place was very comfortable, cozy, convenient, and everything was sparkling clean and orderly. While walking the streets of Madrid, I thought that Isabel’s was a perfect place for a first timer in the city.
