Alvaro was a brilliant and generous host and it was a pleasure to stay in his apartment. We were made to feel very welcome throughout the entire process - from booking to departure. Alvaro left us some groceries and took plenty of time to show us around his home. He recommend places to visit in Madrid. The apartment itself was lovely - very clean and well decorated in a charming, rustic style. The location was perfect, too - close enough to the center to walk to all of the city's main sights but far enough away to be a bit quieter.
