What a gift - our visit to Madrid and meeting Charo. Instantly, it was a home away from home. Charo's hospitality, helpfulness and amazing resources to everything about Madrid was invaluable. Spending time just talking about life in Madrid was as enjoyable as seeing the historic sights. Our room was perfect (quiet and comfortable), the Metro was a quick 5 minute walk, only 10 minutes to Puerto de Sol. Her neighborhood is one of the most diverse and interesting ones in all of Madrid. Every need could be met within only a few minutes walk. We highly recommend staying at and with Charo and her family. We look forward to our next visit.
