Julia’s place was beautiful and exactly as pictured. She is a lovely, warm, and welcoming host and I felt like I was family staying in her home! I I arrived in Madrid at 7am after taking the red eye, and Julia very kindly allowed me to drop off my bag before venturing around the city. She gave very specific and helpful instructions on how to get to her flat via public transit, and even had maps/brochures available in the room. The breakfast left out each morning was such a nice amenity (coffee, toast and/or cereal), and she even prepared my breakfast to go as I was running out the door to catch my flight on my last morning. The only thing I regret from my stay was not getting to chat more with Julia and her family since I was out all day every day. Overall, I highly recommend Julia and her beautiful flat, and would absolutely stay there again if/when I return to Madrid!
