I am so glad I chose Cinthia’s place for my stay in Madrid. Cinthia is one of the kindest, sweetest people you will meet. I loved staying with her and her 2 adorable kitty cats. The night I got to her home she came down stairs and helped me to bring my luggage upstairs and fed me a delicious vegetarian dinner. Throughout my stay she offered me food and cookies. Cinthia is also very helpful and she showed me to the metro and where to buy a pack of 10 metro tickets (a shop right downstairs from her).
The neighborhood is very safe, I was walking alone at 11 and saw several women going for a stroll with their kids. Her home is about a 10 minute walk from the metro, it took me about 30 minutes to get to Sol (the very center). There is also a bus that stops across the street from her home, though I only took it once when I was returning from the city. It’s quite convenient because it stops right in front of the building. It was also a nice feeling to come back to her home after walking around all over.
Her home is very cute and cozy and so is the room where I stayed. She left me alone when I needed privacy but was also happy to talk with me and teach me Spanish which I really appreciate. I am very happy I met Cinthia, she will always have a place in my heart.
