Madrid - the flagship city of Spain and with almost 3.4 mio people, the second-largest city in Europe (Berlin is still No.1). Once we arrived there, we got off to a bumpy start, as we had communication issues with our Airbnb host. Long story short: I totally forgot to check my Airbnb inbox regularly, thinking everything ran smoothly while he was assuming we were not coming anymore. The back-and-forth messaging escalated and he almost didn't even want us to stay there. Finally, we could ease things out and settle in. Lucky us! The Airbnb was gorgeous and located right in the city center - perfect walking distance to all the important sights.
