This was my first airBnb experiance and my first time travelling alone. Fernando was a kind and attentive host, it was just like staying with a friend. He gave me a tour of the local area on the first evening and had many suggestions for good restaurants and things to do. He also treated me to dessert one night at a classy cafe and was always offering me food. And the most important thing to this timid introvert, he let me be when I wanted to retreat into my room for a while.
I chose Fernando because he only speaks Spanish, to force me to practice. In spite of this there was never really an issue communicating as Fernando is adept with google translate for the few things we needed to communicate more clearly. He was also incredible patient coaxing me through my stuttering attempts to speak Spanish.
The apartment is in a good location for getting to everything, either on foot or by metro. The room was clean and tidy. The room had a UK to EU plug adaptor, soap, towels, etc. If I'd needed anything else I'm sure Fernando would have made it appear almost instantly. The kitchen was perfectly adequate for the little food I actually made and has a place to sit and eat together.
