Sergio is a wonderful host and excellent communicator. Communication was key for me because I was traveling alone and had no idea what to expect. He was flexible as I arrived early on a Saturday morning and greeted me to show me around. Sergio offered advice on travel in the city, neighborhood, best way to get to airport, etc. I came to Madrid for two weeks to attend classes and the apartment was in a perfect location so that I could walk to school. It’s 2 blocks from Retiro Park which was ideal for daily exercising and meeting friends for drinks and walks. The metro is around the corner which was super convenient. The outside terrace was an added bonus. I highly recommend.
