Kristian’s place was exactly as it looks in the photographs. It was very central and within walking distance of all the main sites that we wanted to see. Lots of bars and restaurants close by too. There was a supermarket a few minutes away for essentials. Flat was well equipped with shampoo, soap, washing up liquid and coffee, tea etc.
Internet was slow but I find this a lot when abroad. It was exceptionally hot while we were there, and although flat was air conditioned, it was struggling to keep flat cool.
We never met Kristian but did talk to him on the phone and by e-mail. He was always very quick to respond and was very helpful. He e-mailed during our stay to make sure everything was ok and to recommend some places to eat.
Madrid is a beautiful city and I would love to go back (perhaps when it is a bit cooler!). I would not hesitate to stay at Kristian’s place again.
