Ziad’s home is in a wonderful location in Marasaña. It’s very close to a few metro stops but far enough away so it’s not so loud when you want to sleep. It was easy to get to and I felt safe walking in the neighborhood. There are many eateries and coffee shops nearby. Ziad was very kind and helpful, offering me things to do in the area. I didn’t spend much time with him because I was up and about, but he was always available. His home is modern and the bedroom was just what I needed. Outside blinds kept the bedroom nice and dark, so it was very easy to sleep. The bedroom has its own radiator so it’s cozy in winter. The guest bathroom is shared with whoever is staying in the other room. As other reviews mentioned, there are many stairs, but Ziad luckily helped me with my suitcase when I arrived. Madrid is amazing. I would definitely stay with Ziad again.
