Fernando is an incredibly kind and welcoming host. After an incredibly long day of travelling, it was very nice to arrive at Fernando's apartment, where he not only greeted us, but also gave us each a nice bowl of bananas and strawberries. He also oriented us with Madrid so that we could hit the ground running the next day.
Each morning, Fernando prepared us a fantastic breakfast, and ensured that all of our questions were answered. When we returned in the evenings, Fernando would have a lovely snack waiting for us. He was also very interested in hearing about what we had done during the day.
On the day we left, we had to catch a bus at 8AM. Not only did Fernando prepare breakfast for us at 6:15AM, but he also walked us to the train station, and ensured we knew how to get to the bus station. All in all, our stay in Madrid with Fernando gave us the perfect start to our journey in Spain. We would highly recommend staying with him.
