Hi,
I will be in Madrid in November and got a response from the Hostal Adriano stating that there is availability for 5 nights but that I need to put down a 30% deposit via my credit card. On the one hand, I want to arrange my accomodations now to avoid full bookings later; on the other hand, I hate to put forth such a large deposit 3 months in advance. If the Adriano is totally honorable and reliable, I wouldn't mind so much. For those who know the Adriano, I'd appreciate your advice.

Thanks, :-)
