Needs and animals

1 Dog | 1 Cat

I have a mixed race dog, “Balkán”, about 40kg big and a cat, “Nena”. Balkan requires going out and also enjoys playing in the house. He is three years old, and not very agile, as he was born with a slight impairment. He can walk but has difficulty in running. He likes to be petted and is gentle in general. He is prudent with respect to other dogs, and likes to play with them if they don’t run too much. The cat is 9 years old and she's very cozy and likes to receive attention. She is vocal about it and will complain if she feels left behind.

House

Two stage apartment with an ample terrace. Third stage WITH NO elevator. There are two bathrooms, it has aircon and gas heating wifi, etc. It is very well connected to the city center by metro. Puerta del Sol, for example, is about 30 mins away. There is a double bed upstairs and the sofa also can be configured as a bed. There is a nearby park (about 15 mins. away) where I usually walk with Balkan. I think it offers a nice environment because people are usually nice there.

My appartment is well located on Madrid and allows easy access to the city's attractions. It is hard to say what you can't do in Madrid. Just by walking south, you will cross very interesting neighborhoods with a lot of interesting things to do and see. If you like museums, then better prepare yourself because it might be exhausting. If you like going out (like me) then I believe you will discover a ton of places to go. One of the nice things about Madrid is that it is a very open city and it is easy to meet people, especially downtown. There is also the possibility of taking the metro with the dog and going to one of the most beautiful parks in Europe, the Retiro. You can also rent a bicycle and ride a 50km loop that surrounds Madrid, you might be surprised to see how many people enjoy riding.

Arcos de la Frontera, Spain - September 2024

Manuel was very pleasant and kept in touch during his absence, the flat is perfect, near to the park, not far from the centre, well connected by metro and bus and has a wonderful terrace with impressive views. Balkan (the dog) is quite a character, he weighs about the same as I do so when he decides not to move that's it, over the period of my stay however we did come to a mutual understanding of each other and he is very good natured, the cat was no problem and lets you know when it's time for food and/or affection. I stayed a little over 3 weeks at Manuel's place and greatly enjoyed it.

Manuel was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. His pets, Balkan and Nena, are very sweet and his apartment is lovely. I especially loved the terrace! Balkan can be a bit stubborn on walks, which Manuel warned me about, but Manuel was very helpful with tips. Aside from the occasional mutiny (he could be reluctant to go home), Balkan is very sweet and good with other dogs. Nena is a sweetheart! She likes to chat and is very gentle and appreciates affection.

Manuel has a nice house with a sweet dog and cat. The house is near a park where we walked with Balkan. Also the metro is nearby. We enjoyed exploring Madrid. The contact with Manuel was easy. We sure wouldn't mind coming back another time, when the sun does shine.
