Andrea's air bnb is truly a hidden gem!! Coming from New York, it was my first time visiting Spain and I came to experience that her location is truly a prime location. You literally walk out of her gate and the San Miguel market is right next door. The grocery store is right behind the apartment so if you feel like cooking a home-cooked meal, you're in luck having easy access to buying groceries. Just a few minutes away walking distance is the Plaza Mayor which has tons of wonderful restaurants, tourists shops, entertaining street performers, etc.
Luckily my mom and I went during the week of Hispanidid 2022. This past week there were many events all throughout Madrid celebrating different hispanic cultures and we were lucky enough to see some of these free events.- artists, bands, different cultural dances, etc., all within walking distance from Andrea's Air bnb. I cannot rave enough about how her air bnb is located so close to major landmarks if you plan on touring throughout Madrid. Bring comfy sneakers as you'll walking up and down cobblestone. I brought 4 pairs of wedges, sandals, and flips flops and I did not wear any of those during my week stay in Spain. Just a heads up to save you some space in your luggage!
Her apartment was charming, well decorated, and efficiently supplied. It was tidy and clean. It had everything we essentially needed. The shower was hot and well-pressured. Her views outside her balconies of the streets were beautiful. When you wake up in the morning, you can easily watch the city wake up too.
Andrea herself was a warm and welcoming host. She greeted up with smiles and open arms and personally made me feel at home. Her communication with us was timely and clear. Any issues we had were immediately addressed. The only issue I had was her wifi, but it had been slightly pulled out out of the socket- so that was an easy fix. Honestly I had no issues with communication or her air bnb in general.
I truly hope people will choose to stay at her air bnb and find out just how wonderful it is. My mom and I were one of the lucky ones. It was my mom's first air bnb experience and she was very impressed! She's always one to go to hotels/motels but she is so thankful that she didn't this time around. I've had many experiences with Air Bnb's and Andrea's is probably my most favorite and memorable one to date.
Thank you for everything, Andrea!! :)
