Alvaro was an A++ host. When we arrived, the apartment wasn't fully stocked with toilet paper or paper towels and he promptly replaced them the following day. When we had questions (how to operate the heat, use the washing machine) he replied immediately. He even came to fix the tv when I thought it was on the blink. Mind you, this all happened over Christmas, however, he was right there to ensure we had a comfortable stay.
The apartment was perfect, clean and in the perfect location. Close to everything, yet off the beaten track. The shower was divine, too.
When I return to Madrid - I hope to stay there again! Thank you, Alvaro!
