Sergio’s place is centrally located. It’s just across Madrid’s Atocha station which makes it a lot convenient specially if you’re coming into Madrid from other cities like Barcelona through train. You can just walk from the station to his place. It’s also close to a number of tourist spots and just steps away to a metro station. Right beside it are restaurants, stores ( where you can buy water, juices, snacks, fruits etc.)
The place is big as in big. Lots of space and the porch view is great as well.
Of all these great things about the place, to me it’s how Sergio and Adriano went out of their way to help us with an unexpected event just minutes before we’re supposed to board the Renfe train from Barcelona to Madrid. Of all things to forget...we forgot an envelope full of our Euro funds in the place that we stayed in Barcelona. So I decided to stay in Barcelona while my wife and children proceeded to Madrid. Sergio was very kind and accommodating when I asked him if he can be at the station to meet my family. Without hesitation he did and sent Adriano to pick up my family and accompany them to the place. It made my otherwise stressful day more manageable. This to me is a mark of a great host...when they can be with you in times of trouble.
I highly recommend Sergio’s place.
