Talk to us in: NEDERLANDS, ITALIANO, ENGLISH, FRANÇAIS, ESPAÑOL, but please read our profile through before sending a request.

No problem if you want to meet up and grab a beer together or do a language exchange. Just send us a message.

Important: We don't give you a spare key, so you might have to adapt a bit to our time schedule, but we try to be as flexible as possible. We don't let people stay in our apartment when we're not around. We are not a hotel nor Airbnb, we don't ask anything in return so please respect us, our apartment and time schedule.

Also important when you arrive by plane: the airport is in the northeast of Madrid, we live more to the south. It will take you 50/60 minutes by subway or the combination bus/train and subway to get here.
