Staying in this wonderful home was a highlight of my trip! Clara is a very special person and is great at giving you space or socializing -whichever you prefer. I had the most amazing time with Clara and also went off on my own many times. I LOVED the location - right by everything and feels very safe! Third time staying in Madrid, and this was the BEST, by far! Your room is at a private part of the house so you feel like you are in your own place. You do share a bathroom. But, Clara leaves early for work so it was never an issue for me and my daughter. There is a ton of light and it is very clean. You are welcome to use the fridge, if needed. The beds are very comfortable and the windows block a lot of sound at night. But, bring ear plugs if lights sounds bother your sleep. Not bad, just helpful if you are a light sleeper. Clara is the best! You feel so welcome! Her English is great but she will speak Spanish slowly for you if you want to practice! She is a joy to be around and I would LOVE to go back! Wonderful place, wonderful people - can't be beat.
