Waking up around 8am, making my own cup of tea in a wonderfully equipped kitchen while switching on the radio to let the Spanish vibes in. Grab a quick shower in the luxurious bathroom and stroll down the stairs of an architecturally unique building, just to arrive after a 48 metres walk at the Panaderia with wonderful coffee and nice sweets.
This was my morning ritual at Myriam’s place is a true gem right in the city centre and buzzle of Madrid. At the same be assured of a good night sleep because the isolation is great and moreover you sleep in a neatly decorated bedroom in the rear. The house is so practical and comfortable at the same time, that it directly made me feel at home. The kitchen solution, behind sort of French blinds, is also a very nice find to make your stay enjoyable. Best of all I found the urge around 4.30 pm, when tired of being in the city, to want to go ‘home’. To go to my own place in Madrid and once there, open the balcony doors to the Plaza de los Carros, lie down on the sofa and let the street buzzle make you fall into siesta.
