It was a real pleasure to stay with Vidal and his partner. The room was spotless with a couple welcome presents on the bedside table and I had a lovely breakfast. At all stages of the process Vidal contacted me, starting with when I made the initial reservation, mainly to see what I was interested in whilst staying in Madrid and how best he could help me. I tried my best to speak Spanish to Vidal and he was very patient with me. Vidal helped me find my way around the city centre using maps and showed me how to use the underground. I caught the yellow express bus from the airport to Atocha railway station, then the metro to Grab Via - the flat is a very short walk from the metro station. The bus driver wouldn't allow me to take my large suitcase onto the second bus 001 from Atocha station, which is why I took the metro. However, once I knew what I was doing it was easy to use the metro. Without any hesitation I recommend Vidal's place as a lovely Air BnB place to stay.
