Sol was an incredible host – very caring and friendly and generous. She always made sure to check in with me everyday, and made me feel so safe and comfortable as a solo female traveller! The apartment is cosy and very beautifully done up in bright and happy colours, and the kitchen is very well-stocked (perfect for me, a vegetarian who cooked a lot!). Everything is very clean and well-maintained. It got a bit hot during the heat wave as most homes in Madrid don't have air-conditioning, but Sol was so kind to offer me an extra fan, alongside the one already in the room! Sol's apartment is also situated in a great area, very near the city centre. There are 2 metro lines and a number of buses that you can take, so getting around is very convenient. I definitely recommend staying with her, she is such a lovely, cheerful and genuine person!
