The stay in Alex’s apartment was my first Airbnb trial, and was a truly positive experience:
The communication with Alex was very quick, clear and pleasant. His father was a great host and a very sympathetic person, showed us the place, accommodated very flexible check-in and out times, and gave us all needed tips on transportation.
The place is fantastically located, in a beautifully restored historical building. Some of the original elements like doors have been retained, and we got the feeling of being in one of the famous Gaudi buildings. There are plenty local restaurants and cafes just downstairs and around, to get your fresh-orange-juice breakfast or tapas with the locals. The Retiro park for a wonderful morning run is 5 mins away. Both the museums and all major Madrid’s sights are on walking distance. The famous going-out street Las Huertas is only 2 blocks away.
The apartment itself is spacious and well equipped; the beds are very comfortable- we slept perfect. We found everything as described; the WiFi was also working perfect.
Altogether, I can really recommend Alex’s place- thanks a lot for the good experience, and I would definitely come back, when in Madrid again.
