I'm a photographer . I have a beautiful house located in the center of Madrid in Malasaña, one of the most alternative neighborhoods in the capital. Full of life. One step away from everything and very well connected.
We have a large room with double bed and beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Plaza de San Ildefonso and another room with double high bed and single bed with balcony. If you are sensitive to noise do not look for a central place but if you want to live the city fully and avoid displacement, this is your home. We invite you to breakfast. If you need airport transfers we can fix it. Tickets for football, bullfighting, flamenco or other shows .... we can get them. During your stay you can count on my help with any question you have about Madrid. Even though I work from Monday to Friday I am available a large part of time to receive and serve the guests as they deserve! and indicate the best areas of Madrid to visit, eat, go out, how to get around Madrid and make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Upon arrival, keys and a map of the city are delivered. Clean sheets and put on the bed and sets of towels. In the bathroom there is everything you need (gel, shampoo, etc).
There is a supplement of 15 e / n for the third person

Nous avons passé la semaine du nouvel an 2020 à Madrid et nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre hébergement.
Lieu très propre, au centre de Madrid et peu bruyant. Merci à Charo pour son accueil, et sa discrétion.
Petit bémol toutefois, nous aurions aimé être informé des caméras dans le couloir et la cuisine. Mais nous le comprenons.

I am rating 5 star but we did not stay there...the room had a single bed on the bottom and double on top....not ideal for a couple. Charo was nice enough to show us another hotel close by. Place looked clean and secured building.

Achamos a localização excelente e a anfitriã extremamente preocupada e atenciosa. A calefação da casa muito boa, e a cozinha dá opção de um chá ou café se vc quiser de quebra galho. Certamente voltaria ou recomendaria o lugar.

Comfortable, clean, easy to find. This area is buzzing with life and is in the heart of Madrid. Lots of bars, shopping, restaurants around, and a flamenco theatre around the corner. Beautiful old style building that makes you feel like you're really in Europe. Respectful and efficient host. Madrid has amazing metro system, and there is a station within minutes of the apartment, so all areas/attractions are easy to reach from there. Definitely recommend this homestay. Thank you!

This guest awarded the host 3 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

The host was kind, allowed us to keep our luggage later than checkout, however the room was not as pictured. The beds reconfigure with the full size above. Very noisy from the street.
Host reply
Thank you for your comments Lili, but I will tell you that the beds are the same as the photographs (taken by a photographer from the web), we have added some small detail to improve as a mini fridge a storage station and closet.
I can not fix the noise, we are in the center and that has its advantages and disadvantages. Thank you very much for everyone present and good trip
