Carmen is the kindest host you could ask for. On my first day, she greeted me and showed me around her flat. She provided many recommendations of places to eat and visit, which was so helpful.
As I was there for work, the flat is perfectly located by the metro station which made my commute into the office super easy. I felt safe in the area, so coming home late was not an issue for me. The flat is also in a gated building with 24 hour security, which was reassuring as a female solo traveller.
The room is the perfect size and the bed is comfortable. There is a decent sized table for anyone working from home, and plenty of good light. The area has many restaurants, supermarkets and nice parks. There's also a large mall which is a roughly 15 min walk, and Matadero (contemporary arts centre) is just a 20 min walk from the flat.
I loved Madrid, and I know there is a place I can call home for whenever I come back!
Muchas gracias, Carmen.
