We stayed at Alex’s apartment for three days in February and couldn't have wished for anything better. Alex is an excellent host; communication was great before and during our stay, he met us at the apartment and gave us lots of useful recommendations. He went out of his way to make sure our stay was perfect. The apartment was ideal: great view, comfortable bed, good shower with lots of hot water, very clean and comfortable and many personal touches which make it feel like you are staying with a friend. Excellent location with most places within easy walking distance. It also has metro very close by if needed. Neighbourhood is very good, lots of character and very lively with lots of places to eat and drink. The apartment is very quiet though, on the 5th floor (with a lift). This was our second visit to Madrid and we wanted to stay near Chueca/Maslana rather than more central, as it has a much nicer character. Overall, great apartment, great location, and excellent host. We would highly recommend to anyone. Hosts like Alex make Airbnb such a great experience. Many thanks.
