I stayed with Lorcán and Rubén during a two month period of studying Spanish at a language school in Madrid. From start to finish they were perfect hosts - they made me feel totally at ease in their beautiful home and were always happy to have a chat over a mug of tea or a glass of wine. That sense of being welcomed into someone’s home is super important for me, and both of them are excellent at it. The apartment is exactly as described, having been beautifully refurbished only a few years ago by its architect owner, and despite being in an area of the city that has plenty of nightlife, the apartment is completely quiet. The bedroom is to the rear of the building and is totally peaceful, and I also enjoyed using the spacious terrace for morning coffee or relaxing with a book in the afternoon. I would wholeheartedly recommend a stay with Lorcán and Rubén.
