Kristian was a very accommodating and welcoming host. Check-in was a breeze. I arrived early morning and room still occupied. He graciously offered me access to his other apt. to leave my stuff the morning I arrived, and then he brought it up to my room. The room was spacious, , bed quite comfortable & WiFi. Even though Madrid is a very busy city, there was no street noise. Apt. is well located and walking distance to Barrio de las Letras, Plaza Mayor, Prado, metro, etc. Very nice to have access to a fridge to put in some food. Kristian told me to "feel at home" when he welcomed me, and throughout the week I felt very much at home (even though I wasn't there much because there is so much to do).
