I flew to Madrid to then go by train to Gijón where I planned to stay for a week. I needed a place to stay for one night before heading north. I made a good choice staying at Rubén's: terrific location (a stone's throw from Puerta del Sol), a great vibe, good eats everywhere, and my very accommodating host allowed me to do an early check-in. I left at 6 AM in the rain, but a cab happened to be right on the corner and I was whisked away to close this fun mini-chapter.
