My hosts were very nice and helpful, they gave me privacy but were also always available for anything I might need. I had a great time and I definitely would stay with them again.

The position is optimal to take the metro. Julián was giving me a lot of input what to visita in Madrid.

Julian and Gloria are sensational people. They are very receptive. The house is very cozy and clean. Julian knows a lot about the history of Spain and several other countries.

В квартире все удобства, в комнате чисто, уютно, много розеток и отличный WiFi. Дом в хорошем районе, рядом метро, много кафе. Джулиан и Глория отличные люди, говорят на нескольких языках, интеллигентны, дружелюбны, приятны в общении. Выезд в 12.00, но мы выехали позже (допоздна гуляли по городу), а из Мадрида мы уезжали поздно вечером, хозяева без проблем разрешили оставить вещи на весь день, за что еще раз благодарим! А еще разрешили искупаться в бассейне во внутреннем дворе дома и даже познакомили с соседями). В общем, очень приятные впечатления, рекомендуем! The apartment has all the amenities, the room is clean, comfortable, lots of sockets and excellent WiFi. The house is in a good area, near the subway, a lot of cafes. Julian and Gloria are great people, speak several languages, intelligent, friendly, pleasant to talk to. Check out at 12.00, but we left later (late walking around the city), and from Madrid we left late in the evening, the owners without problems allowed to leave things for the whole day, for which we thank you again! And still allowed to swim in the pool in the courtyard and even introduced to the neighbors). In General, a very pleasant experience, we recommend!

I had a good time at Julian's home. The room is very quiet and comfortable. It's great for a good night sleep after a long day out. I will definitely go back, the next time I go to Madrid.
November 2018
Julian and Gloria were excellent and friendly hosts, and the house itself was very clean and cozy.
The location was 2-3 minutes away from Pacifico station which is extremely convenient, and was had a few convenience stores nearby.My only complaint was that the single bed was a bit squeaky, but that's about it. The overall experience was very positive.
Would recommended again.
