You are not a guest , but made to feel part of the family. There is no problem with language between friends. The whole family and the local area is fantastic. 15 minute walk to the Grand Via (High St) but Charo will give you a map 0f the city centre and how to get home. YOU WILL NEED IT. Madrid is expensive same as London, Madrid start to wake up at 11 PM so be prepared to go out then, and sleep 2 to 10pm.
