It's always a pleasure to come back and each time I can see and learn something new about the city thanks to Julian and Gloria who are always very helpful.

Our stay with Julian & Gloria was wonderful. Good location with great access to public transportation and very quiet. But best of all they treated us like family.

My stay at Julian's house was excellent again, Julian and his wife are always very welcoming, they give you space, but are always very helpful with whatever you need and available to advise you on the best way to move around Madrid, which is quite easy from the Metro stop near their house and the various night busses stopping nearby. I definitely hope to stay with them again.

Mi estadia muy agradable. El cuarto cómodo, el baño moderno. Me facilitaron un espacio en la refigeradora para mis cosas del desayuno. A cuadra y media del metro. Situación excelente! Lo principal para mi que me quedé 10 dias fue la calidad humana de Julián y su esposa Gloria. Me guiaron muy bien para que me moviera en Madrid, me recomendaron lugares para visitar y en algunos casos hasta me acompañaron. Hicieron mucho mas que darme un cuarto y eso es invalorable. A mi y a su otra huesped, quienes eramos de de edades muy distintas, nos trataron con mucha educacion, gentileza y calidez, contribuyendo a que mi estadía en Madrid fuera muchísimo mas exitosa que lo planeado. Los recomiendo sin duda alguna.

La estancia con Julián y Gloria ha sido inmejorable. Son amables, siempre dispuestos a ayudarte en todo lo que necesites. Hablar con ellos es una maravilla por su amplio bagaje cultural y su disposición a conocer y aprender nuevas culturas, idiomas y formas de ver la vida. Son una familia abierta, divertida y multicultural. Me he sentido arropada en todo momento, con la certeza de que ,si se hubiera dado cualquier dificultad durante mi estancia en Madrid, ellos me hubieran ayudado sin duda. Me han hecho sentir segura, cómoda, arropada y " en mi hogar" en todo momento.
La ubicación de la casa es magnífica, estás en un barrio céntrico al alcance de lo más bonito de Madrid. Además la casa es una maravilla, la habitación preciosa y acogedora; y tienen una piscina muy grande y gimnasio.
Vivir con ellos durante mi estancia en Madrid ha sido un regalo. No tengo duda de que si regresara los volvería a elegir, y por supuesto, los recomendaría sin dudarlo.
Eskerrik asko, Julián y Gloria ! ❤
