    I stayed with Jose, Asun & Pipo () on 7/4-7/11. This was the most memorable and wonderful homestay so far. I was impressed with how knowledgeable they were about their country history and culture. They are extremely caring, sociable, with sense of humor and lovely people.
    They were very kind to make a welcome lunch and a farewell dinner for me.
    Jose and Asun contributed a lot for me to appreciate Madrid for sure.
    They have a beautiful home, most importantly very clean.
    They made a wonderful job to make guests' stay comfortable providing with nice smelling clean towels, private bathrooms, toiletries, fans in the rooms (it reached over 38C), your very own cloth napkins at the dining table and a lot to name.
    The neighborhood is amazing with everything around withing walking distance. Coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, lots of local shops, mid range clothing brand stores (Zara, Massimo Dutti, Mango, Other Stories etc), upscales too.
    They were very modest with descriptions and info on their profile.
    It was the best homestay ever.
    Thank you so very much dear Jose, Asun & Pipo

    Thank you very much for your evaluation. Batana is an excepcional guest. She is nice, educated, natural, communicative, discreet and we really enjoyed her company. She is a perfect ambassador for her country and thanks to hear we have discovered and learned a lot about Mongolia, a wonderful country full of history and that maintains numerous and precious traditions for centuries.
    You'll be always welcome home and we hope to see you again very soon. Best wishes for you and your big family and thank you very much for everything.
    LOVE from Asun, José and Pipo

    José y Asun, dos personas increíbles! Me quede en su casa por una semana y me sentí super cómoda, tenes todo lo necesario para que tu estadía sea espectacular. La habitación es encantadora, espaciosa, muuy limpia y se puede descansar muy bien. También tenes tu baño propio con todo lo que necesitas. Además tienes todo cerca del piso desde supermercados, locales y bares!
    Te dan tu privacidad y la posibilidad de conversar con ellos (lo cual lo recomiendo) ya que son muy buenas personas, interesantes y con humor!! Me aconsejaron y ayudaron mucho en mi conocimiento sobre la ciudad y un poco de la vida en general. Asun me enseño a hacer paella y comimos juntos los 3 el último almuerzo que estuve allí! Siempre atentos si necesitas ayuda con lo que sea. Y no me quiero olvidar de Pipo, su perro que es un amor también!! Sumamente agradecida por todo!
    Nos volveremos a ver pronto

    Esta estadía en casa de Jose y Asun ha sido una de las experiencias más importantes en mi viaje a Madrid. Todo fue correcto desde que realicé la reserva, antes de la fecha, jose se comunica acertivamente contigo, te explica en detalle todo el servicio que ofrecen en su casa. Al llegar, te reciben de una manera muy acogedora, al igual que Pipo su mascota (que es encantadora). La casa es preciosa hay un detalle que apreciar en cada rincón. Conté con cada una de las necesidades básicas en el cuarto, baño y cocina, que para lo que he estado acostumbrada fue genial! Me he sentido muy bien en esta casa maravillosa y volvería a quedarme sin pensarlo. Agradezco mucho nuevamente a Jose y Asun por su generosidad, amabilidad y confianza para conmigo en este tiempo en Madrid. ¡Super recomendadísimo! No dudes en reservar con ellos. Hasta pronto!

    ENGLISH

    I had a fantastic 2 months with Jose and Asún!

    For context, I moved to Madrid in March for a long-term job. I decided it would be a good idea to live with a Spanish family for the first few months of my new move in order to practice the language consistently and to establish some good relationships in Madrid. And I am so glad that I did!

    Jose and Asún were the perfect hosts- very friendly, very patient and helpful with my language learning journey. I ate lunch and dinner with them almost every day and we had many many interesting conversations. They always went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and at home in their apartment. One weekend, they even invited me to join them on a day trip up the mountains outside of Madrid- and we had a blast! When the time came for me to move out, they even helped me to move into my new apartment where I now live. I am very thankful for my time with Jose and Asún and I am happy to say that we are good friends now! I plan to hang out with them in the future though I no longer live with them!

    The apartment itself was perfect as well. The room was spacious and beautiful with big windows facing the streets of Madrid. The house was always clean and well decorated. I always had plenty of privacy.

    I totally recommend this homestay option for anyone looking to spend time in Madrid! Without a doubt, 5 stars for Jose and Asún!

    SPANISH

    He pasado 2 meses fantásticos con Jose y Asún.

    Para contextualizar, me mudé a Madrid en marzo por un trabajo a largo plazo. Decidí que sería una buena idea vivir con una familia española durante los primeros meses de mi nueva mudanza para practicar el idioma constantemente y establecer algunas buenas relaciones en Madrid. Y me alegro mucho de haberlo hecho.

    José y Asún fueron los anfitriones perfectos: muy amables, muy pacientes y serviciales con mi viaje de aprendizaje del idioma. Comí y cené con ellos casi todos los días y tuvimos muchas conversaciones interesantes. Siempre hicieron un esfuerzo adicional para que me sintiera cómodo y como en casa en su apartamento. Un fin de semana, incluso me invitaron a acompañarles en una excursión de un día a las montañas de las afueras de Madrid, ¡y lo pasamos genial! Cuando llegó el momento de mudarme, incluso me ayudaron a mudarme a mi nuevo apartamento donde vivo ahora. Estoy muy agradecida por el tiempo que pasé con Jose y Asún y me alegra decir que ahora somos buenos amigos. Pienso seguir pasando tiempo con ellos en el futuro aunque ya no viva con ellos.

    El apartamento en sí era perfecto también. La habitación era espaciosa y hermosa con grandes ventanas que daban a las calles de Madrid. La casa estaba siempre limpia y bien decorada. Siempre tuve mucha privacidad.

    ¡Recomiendo totalmente esta opción de alojamiento en casa de familia para cualquiera que quiera pasar un tiempo en Madrid! Sin duda, ¡5 estrellas para Jose y Asún!

    Son muy amables, abiertos y comunicativos. El ambiente es muy familiar.
    La habitación es igual que en las fotos y muy luminosa con un balcón bastante grande.
    El piso está situado en una zona muy buena con muchísimas tiendas y cerca del parque retiro.
    Sin duda volvería a hospedarme con ellos.
