We are Pilar and Guillermo, half of us has exchanged homes off and on since before the internet and the other half is an experienced world traveller with several pairs of boots spent. We are both potters (and can offer to exchange home + workshop, if interested). We have no children, but we do have Sally, our Jack Russel Terrier who can either travel with us or we can have someone look after her during our exchange. Our home is comfortable and well located in the Malasaña district of downtown Madrid, a stone's throw away from Puerta del Sol, major museums, and nightlife. In our neighbourhood, a car is a burden.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Modern, 100 square metre apartment for 2 people, with lots of light, privacy and a terrace; very well located in the famous Malasaña district, a walking distance away from all the major attractions in the city. Our home is comfortable, with all the expected appliances and services, but we do not have a television set. Our home is made up of: kitchen, bathroom (with bathtub), bedroom, living room, dining room, studio, and terrace. Although we live in the heart of the city, our home is very silent. Partially refurbished in 2021.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is very lively, but you wouldn't know it inside our home. We are located in the famous Malasaña district, a very modern and eclectic part of town, with abundant commerce and options to go out and have a drink or something to eat. The underground is close by as are buses; but if you are up to it, you would hardly need any transport as most everything is a walking distance away from our home; actually, in our neighbourhood a car is a burden, but we do have one and can include it in the exchange (just be ready to spend some time looking for a place to park).

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Madrid is a lively city with lots to offer, from world class museums like the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofía to excellent food and wine venues. Day trips to world heritage cities are also an option.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are careful people, we take care of our home and we like to have it in good shape; we can offer the same when we visit your home. Our main rule when you visit our home is that you be sensible, which is what we will be when we visit yours. We do not have expensive pieces of furniture, art or antiques, but what we do have we have chosen with care.
