We had the perfect stay at Belen's Madrid home and would like to thank her for allowing us to be her guest for 2 nights. We wish we could stay a bit longer though !
Location : Perfect ! Very near to wherever you would like to go....sightseeing, shopping....either walk or take a subway ( 10mins walk to the nearest station ) or simply hop on to a cab which is available on the next street...2mins walk.
Apartment : Very good 2 Bed Room Apartment with 2 full bathrooms with all the amenities you would need for your stay .
The second BR has a single bed while the master BR has a King Size bed.
Big Hall and full kitchen.
The elevator is very small....however we managed without any problem with 3 large bags/suitcases....no problem.
Host : Belen was extremely prompt with her responses....never realised that she actually stays is a completely different time zone....in Miami, US till I was informed of the same by her nephew Carols who received us at the apartment.
Belen will send her response in a mater of minutes to whatever query you might have...with full clarity...we are so thankful to her for her excellent communication over messages, although we never spoke. She arranged pick up and drop for us from the train station and to the airport by efficient Taxi Company and that was of great help. Belen gracefully allowed us to check in at the time we wanted, which was a bit early and we are so much thankful for her for the same.
Carlos was very helpful and responsive too...a big 'thank you' to Carlos as well who waited for us to arrive and explained everything and showed me around the area for grocery stores, markets and a few areas of interest as tourist.
Overall : Your perfect home away from home in Madrid....just go for it. We already know where to stay next time we are in this beautiful city.
