Thank you Elizabeth and Mom, Beni, for a wonderful 18 night stay at your apartment in Chueca.
As I said before, you are the 'Hostess with the Mostest' and you really went 'above and beyond' your Hostessing duties in making sure that we had the very best stay at your wonderful apartment, which was so spacious and spotless clean, enough room for everyone and plenty of supplies of linen, towels and the welcoming toiletries were a great help upon arrival. I'm still missing those beautiful balconies!
The area was so central and it had a great 'buzz' about it. I found the Chueca community the most friendliest and hospitable people and would sit up at night to just listen in wonder at them when the clubs were finished and they would gather outside for a chat, all in good, friendly humour, and then they would all go back to their homes. It amazed me that I never heard one raised voice or one argument amongst them at that time of night at any time during my stay! They really are a great example of how the rest of the world should conduct themselves when going out for a drink. They really know how to enjoy themselves in a proper manner and wish that were the case in cities like ours where people come out of these establishments only to start shouting and arguing with each other.
I would mostly like to say a special thanks to you for your wonderful help and support after my son's surgery by providing him with not one, but two, mattress toppers! They really were a great help and also for providing another big extra mattress for his Dad to help with his bad back.
We enjoyed our 18 nights stay with you very much Elizabeth and it was such a privilege to meet you both. Nothing was too much trouble for you, even to totally confusing you with the comings and goings of our guests, as my son celebrated his 21st birthday during his stay and his brothers and girlfriend came over for the weekend and then his original friend we brought over with us had to be replaced with another friend for the last week and my husband had to relieve me on the second week.
You took it all in your stride Elizabeth and made sure everyone was happy and provided for and we appreciated all your efforts and support and hope we did not put you to too much trouble.
I have promised myself that I will be back to stay with you, but this time, without the kids, as my son's surgery plus recovery consumed so much of my time that I never got round to exploring your beautiful city of Madrid.
Thank you once again Elizabeth and Beni for everything.
Kindest regards,
Marian & Andy Burke and family xxxx
