Staying with "Uncle Ivan" was truly that, just like staying with a family member I hadn't seen in a while. His communication and timeliness were impeccable. He even showed me around central Madrid and shared some Huevos Roto at an awesome place. When you stay, have him tell you where that place is! My only suggestion would be to ask for the key upfront so you have it and come and go with ease. I'm the type of traveler who doesn't really have a plan and goes with the flow. The key is essential goal for this. I will truly miss the hospitality I was showed there and the warms kisses from the sweetest dog, Duncan! Thanks for having me!
