Silmara and Manuel could not have been nicer and more welcoming. They offered great directions to the city, but the flat is off the commuter rail line rather than the subway so it's a little more complicated to get into the main city. And, you really have to take the train to do anything since they are in a suburban area. The room itself was very clean and comfortable, and I have to say again what friendly, accomodating hosts they were!
We stayed for five nights and were made to feel very welcome. They are a very friendly couple. We had our own bathroom and full use of the kitchen and loungeroom, which was great. The apartment is is about a three minute walk from El Pozo Station which is only two stops from Atocha Railway station. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Silmanu and highly recommend this apartment for anyone going to Madrid. Thanks for your hospitalilty. Sharon and Stephen (Australia)
My girlfriend and I spent four nights at Manuel and Silmara's place and we had a great time. Manuel is very professional and gave us a variety of maps and other info that was helpful in navigating Madrid. Silmara was very sweet and patient, allowing me to practice my poor spanish with her. The place itself is very clean and well kept. A major plus for this place is the private bathroom (which was also very clean). This is really helpful as it allows you to unpack your toiletries without... More »
Manuel was out-of-town during our stay, but Silmanu was pleasant and helpful. Our Spanish and her English were not perfect, but we communicated easily. Their apartment is very modern and our bedroom and private bathroom were clean and comfortable. Silmanu allowed us to use of the clothes washing machine and their modern kitchen. The apartment is in a safe suburban neighborhood and only a 5 minute walk to the train station; then a 15 minute ride to the center of Madrid.
We spent two wonderful weeks in Madrid with Silmara and Manuel. Lovely couple and so easy to live with they made our stay a real joy. El Pozo train stop is just two stops from the Atocha station and so in/out of the city was a snap. . . never waited more than 3 minutes for the train. Perfect place for a vacation . . . perfect people to stay with too! Highly recommend this place!!!
Silmara and Manuel are great - very friendly and easy and sweet. They gave me lots of advice on Madrid and showed me maps and made my experience very easy. The room and private bathroom were VERY clean, and there was ample storage space in a big closet and dresser. It was nice to be able to use the kitchen, which was also clean and spacious, and there was a supermarket 2 blocks from the apartment.
The only downside was the location - it is near a Renfe Cercenias train station (El Pozo... More »
Silmara & Manuel are wonderful human beings! Both sweet as sangria on a Saturday night! They took great care of us--even when we had to arrive very late the first night. Silmara & Manuel's airbnb hospitality was a perfect mix of genuine warmth and honest professionalism. Their cozy home was perfect for a peaceful siesta after running around Madrid. We would love to see them again some day...Gracias & Abrigado!
We were only there for one night but it was a great experience. A little out of city centre but it is a short subway ride to get there. The apartment complex was quiet and really nice. They were a great couple to deal with and super helpful with going out to do stuff. They were also very helpful with directions from the airport to the building and vice versa. If I went back to Madrid I would definitely look them up again!
Silmanu is a really sweet, friendly, and warm person.Her home is really lovely and she makes you feel like you are at a home away from home.Thanks Silmanu for a wonderful 2 days!
Silmara is very nice and welcoming. The room and bathroom were very clean, and although the apartment isn't in the city center, it was easy for us to get to all the major sites both at day time and at night. I highly recommend this place. Thanks Silmara.
Silmara and Manuel were very friendly and helpful. They had detailed maps and instructions on how to get around the city and back to the flat. The room was a good size and plenty of sunlight. This location has easy access to the train station. We enjoyed our stay in Madrid.
Silmara and Manuel are wonderful and generous hosts. Their apartment is only 2 blocks from the train and only 2 stops from the heart of Madrid-- the Prado, Reina Sofia, and delicious restaurants.
My husband and I were very pleased with the lovely sunlit room and private bath. Everything was thoughtfully prepared by Silmara; Manuel provided us with very helpful maps and info.
We would stay with them again in a heartbeat! :)
