Me and my boyfriend stayed at Greg's place for six nights. Greg was in the United States, so it was his roommate, Jorge, who attended us.
Location
The flat is situated in the very heart of Madrid, near to the metro station of Gran Vía. Most of the interesting places for tourists can be reached by walking, but the metro connection is very good as well.
Flat
The flat is very nice and luminous. You can see and feel that the inhabitants care for their home. Just notice the lovely decoration! We could use the kitchen and the fridge. The bathroom was clean and had everything we needed.
Room
Our room was bright and had a nice little balcony from which you could see the Gran Vía, one of the main streets of Madrid. The bed was comfortable and we had a huge wardrobe to store our stuff. If you have a really light sleep and plan to spend the weekend at Greg's and Jorge's , you should consider to bring some earplugs or to simply close the windows because of a bar in front of the building who can be quite noisy on weekends.
Roommates
We did not get to know Greg, but his roommate, Jorge, is a very lovely host, who was open for conversations and who speaks English really fluently (which can't be taken for granted among Spanish people). He even made us a delicious Spanish Tortilla and had some Tinto de Verano with us. We had a really good time and felt at home at Jorge's place!
A accommodation I would recommend to everyone!
Jorge, muchísimas gracias! Eres un auténtico sol y nos encantaría volver a verte o en Berlín o Madrid!
Un abrazo!
