Fernando was easy to contact, gave helpful information so booking could not have been easier, his English is excellent. Arrival was equally great, Fernando and Patricia welcomed us with a quick show round and a very cold beer or 2!!! The bedroom is lovely and has a private shower room next door. Its at the back of the house so quiet and cool. Everywhere beautifully clean. Kitchen was available tho we only used it for tea and coffee because we were provided with a v good breakfast ... Maybe a bit of competition between F and P about who did the best!!! They were perfect hosts, not intrusive but there if we wanted to chat, which we did over football and comparing our poor Spanish with Patricia's English, she understands pretty much everything!! Location is perfect, about 2 mins walk from atocha station, 2 from reina Sofia, same for Prado (didn't go there!) and then close to everywhere else. Fernando introduced us to Lavapies for bars! Also next to an internet cafe to print boarding cards if you're with Ryanair. Highly recommend for comfy, friendly, relaxed stay in Madrid, Next time we're there we will go back if they'll have us!
