    It was easy to find somewhere near our apartment in Madrid and very easy to book on-line. The man in the shop was pleasant and friendly and locked our cases in a back room. We left them there all day and it was very easy to pick them up that evening and then get an Uber to the airport.

    Everything went incredibly well. The bike shop where they store your luggage is even closer to the Atocha train station than the app says. And the staff at the shop are extremely friendly. We will definitely repeat when we return to Madrid.

    Very easy and smooth luggage drop-off and pick-up process. Friendly and helpful staff. They didn’t speak English (which I found to be quite common in Madrid), but with AI translation it wasn’t a problem at all, since the staff were very willing to assist.
