This was our first exchange and it was absolutely magnificent! From beginning to end, Maria and Cuco helped us prepare for our trip to Spain and welcomed us to Guadalajara as if we were family. The home was extremely comfortable, just as shown in the photos, and very spacious. Our two kids were happy to get their own rooms, and we were pleased to have such a lovely private terrace to have breakfast. But what truly made the exchange an unforgettable experience was the hospitality of Maria and Cuco, they picked us up from the airport, took us to the home, had a kitchen full of food ready because they knew our young kids would be hungry after a long journey from the US -- it was all so warm and welcoming. The home was stocked with everything we wanted and more, and there was plenty of space for our belongings. The town of Guadalajara is about 45 min from Madrid, but it is much more than than an outpost from Madrid and we absolutely loved the town itself. Very walkable, great restaurants, and full of friendly people. Our kids loved all of the playgrounds and enjoyed exploring away from the big city. But what made this experience so wonderful was really Maria and Cuco -- they are just wonderful hosts all around. They invited us over to their house, just outside of town, for dinner one night, where our kids played with their grandkids and we got to meet lots of their family members. It felt like a gift to be part of their wonderful family for one night! The whole exchange was above and beyond what we ever expected, thank you again Maria and Cuco!
