My experience in Madrid at Luis' home was just BEYOND any of my expectations.
Luis met me at his apartment (even though I arrived a couple hours later than expected because of plane delays). He was so welcoming, guided me through his home to showed me all the amenities, and provided recommendations and tips to local restaurants and cultural expectations/adventures. His home had all the necessities I needed and because of this, I realized I packed too much for this trip. Among all the amenities, he also had detergent to wash clothes and dishes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, first aid kit, trash bags, condiments, dishes, utensils, cleaning supplies, etc. The apartment allows a beautiful amount of natural light to enter along with automatic window shades to block out any outdoor lights. Without hesitation, I would reserve his excellent apartment and tell friends, family and colleagues if they were to ever visit Madrid.
