Pilar was a wonderful host. From the moment I arrived Pilar was welcoming and friendly. She not only gave me lots of information about Madrid, but was a great support after my purse was pick-pocketed. Plus she actually came with me to show me where to get my Renfe tickets and followed up when I was overcharged! Just because she had a free day, she gave me her personally guided walking day tour of Madrid. And Spanish lessons! Service extrordinaire! We really got on very well and had lots of laughs along the way.
Her apartment is small but comfortable. And then there's the bathroom - what a fabulous shower. I meant to tell you how good is your shower Pilar! Another bonus was being able to cook a meal in the kitchen. The area where Pilar lives seems very safe and her apartment is certainly easy to find if you arrive by train, the Station exits directly into her Street. Its also very accessible to the centre by bus, train or walking. Thank you heaps for your hospitality Pilar, it was great staying with you. I'll be back for sure☺
