This was the Airbnb experience as it should be - as it was probably conceived to be - but so rarely is. Lorcan is a gracious, welcoming host, full of insights about Madrid and Spain in general. His apartment is a lovely, airy retreat that instantly felt like home away from home, and was amazingly quiet, despite being in the center of a lively quarter. We have already recommended it to friends and will try to stay there again next time we're in Madrid. Thank you, Lorcan!
