My stay in Al's loft apartment was short and sweet! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! With only 24 hours to see Madrid, I was able to walk to all the major sites from the apartment and when I wanted to escape the tourist rush, I just came back to the apartment and drank beer in the squares with the locals. Al was such a warm and welcoming host, who loves his city. I didn't do much planning for this trip, and when I asked him for some tips, he sat down with me and helped me strategize how to maximize my time in Madrid - even highlighted the must sees on a map! I couldn't have asked for a better stay!
