Cultural Note
The expression 'estar a gusto' captures a particularly Spanish feeling of being comfortable and content in a place or with someone. It's stronger than simply 'comfortable' — it implies genuine satisfaction and well-being. Spanish couples often describe their ideal home life using this phrase. The opposite, 'estar a disgusto,' means feeling uneasy or unhappy.
