Stefania is an awesome host. The location is great everything is within walking distance from her home. There is not an elevator/lift so please be mindful if you are traveling with a lot of luggage. There was a fan in my bedroom and lock on the door. There were multiple guest during my stay and Stefania was able to coordinate everything perfectly. She had an area for males and an area for females. The home is quite unique with a lot of art, books, etc. I had the pleasure of enjoying pasta & wine with Stefania upon my arrival and breakfast with her the next morning. I enjoyed chatting with her and watching her engage in multilingual conversations. Overall, I enjoyed my short stay with Stefania she is a generous host

Ruben was an awesome host! Check in was super easy and he contacted me one month before my arrival just to make sure I had the address and which date I would be arriving. Ruben was available if I needed him but otherwise he doesn't bother you. The room looks exactly like the picture, there is a lot of storage space in the room and a lock on the door. There is an elevator/lift to use for luggage for extended stays unlike most places I've visited in Europe. The location is close to the bus stop and the metro is about an 18 minute walk away, there is a closer station #5 but was closed during my stay. The fare to and from the airport is pricey $30 euros. Be aware that there may be another person staying in the condo in addition to Ruben which can be a bit tricky 3 people sharing one bathroom. My schedule was flexible so it was not an issue for me. Also, future travelers be aware there is no AC and it was extremely hot this summer in Madrid. I purchased a fan and it was a lot more comfortable. Female travelers Ruben was respectable, I was bit nervous booking with a male but he was exceptional so no worries if this is your concern as well. This would be a comfortable and safe place for you to stay. Overall, Ruben was great and I would stay with him again if I return to Madrid.
