Great Location / Host / and facilities

The apartment is about a 2 minutes walk from a major Metro and train station that has lots of food and store locations inside. You can get to any place in Madrid in just a few minutes by Metro and there are plenty of stores and bakeries in the area around the Metro station. There is also a taxi stand by the Metro station if you don't want to deal with the Metro, but I prefer the Metro. The neighborhood is very quiet and the room opens onto a garden where the birds sing constantly.

The host, Guillermo, is super and could not be more accommodating. He checks with you often to see if you need anything and that you are comfortable. He had my own vacant shelf in the refrigerator, shelf in the pantry, and a shelf in the bathroom. He works during the day and but when he is there he likes to talk if you are in the mood. His English is excellent and he also speaks German besides Spanish. He is obviously well educated and interested in a lot of topics. We never ran out of things to talk about.

The room is very large with a window to the garden area. There is a closet that is empty and additional space for your luggage and stuff. The whole apartment is very clean and comfortable and the host very comfortable to be around also. I will definitely try to stay at the same place the next time I am in Madrid.
