I stayed at Charlie's place for a week with my girlfriend and everything was ok. Our room was huge, clean and tidy, with a comfortable bed and a private bathroom. We were at the first floor, the same where it is owner's room, that is very cosy and peaceful. We were able to use the cousin too, that it's located at the second floor, where we could cook and eat and use all the necessary to do that. The most remarkable thing about this place is the perfect position in the city center: we never used public transport 'cause almost everything was near the house (Gran Vía is just around the corner) and I think that to really enjoy Madrid you must visit it walking around its huge avenues and getting lost inside its tiny but colorful streets. However, if you prefer to use the public transport there's a metro station (Callao) just at 3 minutes walking from the house. Neighborhood full of life (in particurarly during the weekend) but peaceful at the same time. In the end Charlie was very kind and always helped us with all we needed and we chatted a lot many times. I just want to remind people that the rooms you rent on Airbnb are not hotel rooms and that you cannot expect too much from a private house where you're going to stay for a few days, so just relax and focus your attention on the great chance you have to spend a little money for a good place where to stay and meet people in another country. I say it because something wasn't ok (some lights in the bedroom didn't work, the shower wasn't perfect too...) but we never complained about.
So I definitely recommend it!!
Gracias por todo Charlie! Nos encantó estar en tu casa y conocerte! Si volvemos por Madrid ya sabemos adonde ir!
