I had a fantastic 2 months with Jose and Asún!
For context, I moved to Madrid in March for a long-term job. I decided it would be a good idea to live with a Spanish family for the first few months of my new move in order to practice the language consistently and to establish some good relationships in Madrid. And I am so glad that I did!
Jose and Asún were the perfect hosts- very friendly, very patient and helpful with my language learning journey. I ate lunch and dinner with them almost every day and we had many many interesting conversations. They always went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and at home in their apartment. One weekend, they even invited me to join them on a day trip up the mountains outside of Madrid- and we had a blast! When the time came for me to move out, they even helped me to move into my new apartment where I now live. I am very thankful for my time with Jose and Asún and I am happy to say that we are good friends now! I plan to hang out with them in the future though I no longer live with them!
The apartment itself was perfect as well. The room was spacious and beautiful with big windows facing the streets of Madrid. The house was always clean and well decorated. I always had plenty of privacy.
I totally recommend this homestay option for anyone looking to spend time in Madrid! Without a doubt, 5 stars for Jose and Asún!

He pasado 2 meses fantásticos con Jose y Asún.
Para contextualizar, me mudé a Madrid en marzo por un trabajo a largo plazo. Decidí que sería una buena idea vivir con una familia española durante los primeros meses de mi nueva mudanza para practicar el idioma constantemente y establecer algunas buenas relaciones en Madrid. Y me alegro mucho de haberlo hecho.
José y Asún fueron los anfitriones perfectos: muy amables, muy pacientes y serviciales con mi viaje de aprendizaje del idioma. Comí y cené con ellos casi todos los días y tuvimos muchas conversaciones interesantes. Siempre hicieron un esfuerzo adicional para que me sintiera cómodo y como en casa en su apartamento. Un fin de semana, incluso me invitaron a acompañarles en una excursión de un día a las montañas de las afueras de Madrid, ¡y lo pasamos genial! Cuando llegó el momento de mudarme, incluso me ayudaron a mudarme a mi nuevo apartamento donde vivo ahora. Estoy muy agradecida por el tiempo que pasé con Jose y Asún y me alegra decir que ahora somos buenos amigos. Pienso seguir pasando tiempo con ellos en el futuro aunque ya no viva con ellos.
El apartamento en sí era perfecto también. La habitación era espaciosa y hermosa con grandes ventanas que daban a las calles de Madrid. La casa estaba siempre limpia y bien decorada. Siempre tuve mucha privacidad.
¡Recomiendo totalmente esta opción de alojamiento en casa de familia para cualquiera que quiera pasar un tiempo en Madrid! Sin duda, ¡5 estrellas para Jose y Asún!

Asún y Jose son muy simpáticos. La habitación es muy grande, con muchos armarios. Y tiene el cuarto de baño separados de la habitación solo para usted. Mi estancia fue buenísimo con ellos y lo recomiendo a quien quiera visitar o estudiar a Madrid.

Son muy amables, abiertos y comunicativos. El ambiente es muy familiar.
La habitación es igual que en las fotos y muy luminosa con un balcón bastante grande.
El piso está situado en una zona muy buena con muchísimas tiendas y cerca del parque retiro.
Sin duda volvería a hospedarme con ellos.Host reply
Muchísimas gracias Phyllis. Además de como amiga, también nosotros estariamos encantados de recibirte como huesped siempre que lo necesites; esperamos que en tu desarrollo profesional tengas muchas visitas a Madrid para incrementar las relaciones comerciales entre Alemania y España.
