Alvaro is the best host that I’ve run into on Airbnb. He is truly a genuine guy who respects his customers and wants them to feel at home in his spectacular apartment. I would recommend this apartment for families and/or older people, as the location tends more to that crowd. We are young college kids and felt slightly out of place. However, Alvaro told us some amazing local spots with great restaurants and nightlife. I have to admit, it was very nice to come back to a peaceful, quiet neighborhood after being out on the crazy streets of Madrid all night! Alvaro also helped us out tremendously with our luggage, as we screwed up our dates of stay. Alvaro and his apartment are 5 out of 5 stars!!
