Paola is an awesome host. She is so much fun to talk to--we talked about anything under the sun: food, travel and even Trump! Her apartment is situated in the center of historic Madrid and is steps away from the city's version of Times Square! I didn't even have to take the Metro to go places since I pretty much walked and strolled to wherever I wanted to go. Paola would be there to help provide direction and give insights on must-visit attractions and restaurants. Maybe the only downside to her place being where it is is the noise; there are tapas joints, restaurants, and bars within feet of her rustic building that are pretty much open until sunrise. But, being an urbanite, it didn't really bother me that much. Pretty much, the whole Madrid experience was a blast and staying at Paola's helped a lot. Thanks and see you next time, Paola!
