Carmen is a friendly professional host who made us feel immediately welcome. The light airy and beautifully decorated apartment had lots of touches in each room which proved to us that Carmen is a spectacular host.
The beds were very comfortable and my husband and I fell in love with the shower.....never had a shower like it! I fell in love with the kitchen and all the appliances, better than I have at home. So although we were surrounded in the local area by restaurants we enjoyed visiting the super market in the street and cooking in the apartment.
With 2 children we felt safe in the area when we went out and found all the museums very easy to navigate to and reach. Local people are very helpful and friendly and if you can try and speak some Spanish they will do all they can for you. There are also a lot of homeless people around the streets, go and buy them food, give them a hug. Remember they are human beings too.
We spent every day out exploring the beautiful art galleries, museums and architectural sites, having this wonderful apartment to return home to made our time in Madrid. We can honestly say we didn't want to leave and the next time we visit we will get in touch with Carmen.
