Fernando was a very welcoming and helpful host, providing us with leaflets and maps, information on "his" Madrid and surprising us with his perfect German. He's fluent in English, Spanish and German - which makes communicating very enjoyable. The apartment is in a lively and authentic part of Madrid, very close to Atocha station and therefore easy to get to, nonetheless it is in a quiet street so one can get a good night's sleep. Madrid's main sights are all in walking distance and there's nothing better than enjoying Tapas and then walking slowly back to a nice and comfortable "home". Thank you Fernando!
