Fernando is an outstanding host! He gave me a warm welcome and shared his love of Madrid with me. He offered many great suggestions - from Retiro Park (I’m a runner so this is important) to restaurants museums and the best sightseeing spots. The apartment is gorgeous, in the heart of Lavapiés. Everything is in walking distance! Reina Sofia and the Prado are minutes away. The apartment is nearby a 24 hour grocery store which I loved, too. The place was super clean and quiet - a great spot to rest after a busy day in Madrid. I will absolutely stay at Fernando’s place again!
