There is a small dining-room, kitchen and two bathrooms- the one with separate WC in the hall. We rent this home to foreign students from September to June, so it would be free for exchange in end June, July, August and beginning September. There are WC and another single bedroom in the hall that would be included in the exchange if it were free. The pictures are of this home.

The other home, to the right, contains 3 bigger bedrooms (15, 20 and 25 m2), all bedrooms include double beds, cable TV- the biggest also with DVD-, tables, chairs, and armchairs, with another kitchen, one complete bathroom and toilet, which we rent yearly to master students in general, so it would only be available for exchanges few time. There are not pictures of thos home in the listing.

We would exchange one of the homes as independents flats, and one or more bedrooms for hospitality exchanges also possibles in other flat in the center, where live our dougther, she have a doble room of 25m2 with separate bath, available all the year because she is fly attendant and she is out Madrid a lot of the time. There is a picture of this room also.

The house will be thoroughly cleaned before and after your stay, so there is no need for you to clean anything before you go, but we kindly ask you to leave it tidy. Our housekeeper, cleans once a week; she is also available if you need her to go more often -10 euros/hour. We would look also baby-sit if you need it -price negotiable.

The condominium is situated in the famous area of Los Austrias, where you can find the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral. It is in La Latina neghborhoog, right at La Latina Square, where the famous El Rastro flea market starts on Sundays. It is very close to Cava Baja, the place to be if you want to enjoy our tapas along with some drinks Spanish style, and nearby Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, where KM 0 of all roads in Spain starts.

At La Latina Square there is a taxi rank, several bus stops and the very convenient underground station of La Latina. You can easily come from the airport by taxi –some 30 euro and no more than an hour, depending on the traffic- or by underground, with two changes and a small supplement on the fare, but it will be less than 2 euro if you buy a ticket for 6 or 10 trips, always wise as you can also use it for busses.

In the surrounding streets you can also find many shops and some of the most famous restaurants in Madrid, like Casa Botin, Casa Lucio y Malacatín, or some other cheaper ones but also very good like Casa Rodriguez in street Maldonas, way to squares La Latina and Cascorro. You’ll find supermarkets, a very big grocery market, an indoor swimming pool and a gym, both just in front of the well-known La Latina Theatre.
