About us

Thank you for visiting our blog. It contains detailed info about our room offer and about us.  

We are a young couple (at least in spirit) with three kids, two males, Manuel and Eduardo, aged 10 and 8, and a 5 year old doll, Elisa. As if that was not enough, we also have a dog.












Our three kids attend the Deutsche Schule in Madrid, so we appreciate the culture sharing experience of having a German speaking student or young professional living with us. 

So we rent a conveniently priced room in our home. 

The room is around 10 square meters, has plenty of storage room and a large window that faces a courtyard. There are no views but there's plenty of light since we live in the last floor. It also has a small desk for studying (the first picture of the room is not updated). 

Our guest will also enjoy his/her own small bathroom with shower. 





Our guest will have access to the rest of the house and may share a piece of our life, if interested. My wife and I are dynamic young professionals and, although we run a very tight schedule, we try to stay involved in new things. We enjoy sports and travelling very much. In any case, our favourite activity is to spend time together and hang out with our kids. That being said we will by all means respect our guest's privacy. 

Our house has a nice community garden which our guest may also enjoy. 

The house is located in Puerta de Hierro which is a nice residential area inside Madrid’s metropolitan area. It is a convenient location, since it is close enough to the city’s downtown but quiet enough for a relaxed living in such a bustling city as Madrid. It is also steps away from Universidad Complutense. A bus that stops in front of our house may take you there in no time. But it is also reachable by foot (20 min) or by bike. There’s also a night bus (buho) that runs all night long from the city’s downtown (Cibeles) right to our house. So you may enjoy at full one of Madrid's best attractions: its nightlife. There’s also a subway station at a 15 minute walk.

Our flat is bright and simply decorated.

In short, we provide a healthy, easygoing and fun environment for our guests.  

Our ideal guest would be a very respectful and well behaved kids-friendly student or young professional who appreciates a family environment and who is also interested in a cultural exchange. We already have a lot of experience hosting students.

Besides payment, there are two truly important things we expect from our guests: first, a very respectful behaviour; that means respecting house rules, keeping his/her room perfectly in order and giving a regular helping hand. Second, a positive attitude; my wife and I work extremely hard and go through quite some stress to maintain a certain living standard and our home is our shelter against all of this hussle. We do our best to have a positive and optimistic feeling at home and we want to keep it that way.   

If interested, we can have a skype conversation to see how we all feel. We can also share contact details of current or previous tenants so interested people can have an independent opinion of what living with us is like. Eventually, we will be asking for half a month's rent for reserving our place which will be reduced from the first month's rent. 

We will be asking for no deposit since we believe our relation with our guests should always be pleasureable. Our guest may leave unoposed and with no cost if he/she desires to.

We hope you find our offer appealing!
