It´s a few weeks now since I left Madrid and Kristian´s place, but it´s still not forgotten.
The location is excellent with Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol just around the corner, but also many other tourist hot spots within an acceptable walking distance. If you like to stroll around a bit between the attractions public transport is not necessarily needed.
I stayed in the bedroom of the very cosy and colourful apartment, where Kristian personally lives. The bed was very comfortable, and I loved the fact that it was very quiet at night, but my absolutely favourite place was the kitchen – watching the people passing by on the tiny square in front of the house while having a coffee in the morning before heading off to the city.
Because I was staying such a long time I also had the opportunity to have a look at his second apartment one floor under. Very nice and comfortable! I wouldn´t mind living there for next time visit : Definitely recommended, aswell!
It was my very first time in Madrid, and although Kristian offered me twice to show me around I sort of prefer discover places by myself. As much I was happy to do so, as much I was happy to but then go out with him and his friends at night, showing me his favourite hangouts. Kristian is a very friendly host; always smiling, very outgoing, communicative, and at the same time very respectful. So are his friends. They all made me feel as if I was an inhabitant already, even if I don´t speak Spanish.
You will not regret having Kristian as your host for at least once! Vielen Dank für ALLES, Kristian!
