Ivan was an amazing host! He made a huge impact before the trip by communicating in great detail everything to know from the different options of transportation from the airport to the different things one may choose to do while in Madrid! He made checking in very easy and impressive! His place is located really close, a 4minute walk, to a cercanías train/subway line station (the entrevias one) and there's a bus that drives by there too! The room was cozy, it was a perfect place to crash after a long day of walking and sight seeing. It's close to central Madrid, but not too close to where the only people you see are tourists! Another perk of being away from central Madrid is that there are many cheap places to eat! He also lets you use his kitchen and cookware, and there's a supermarket within walking distance as well so you're free to make your own meals if you wish! Staying here felt no different from as if I were at home! He and his friend Mariano, who also lives there, were a blast to be around, and if I'm ever visiting Madrid again, I'll choose to stay here!
