I traveled to Madrid with my parents in July 2014. We stayed in Juan Carlos apartment and we had a great experience. As a host, Juan Carlos went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had all the information we needed. Communication with him was great, he replied almost immediately; you don't see that with airbnb hosts very often. I arrived by myself first, and my flight was delayed by over 12 hours. Juan Carlos picked me up at the airport to make sure I arrived safely to the apartment. Once there, he showed me the apartment and answered all my questions, and even showed me around the neighborhood a bit. The apartment is really nice and comfortable. I loved that it was in a very lively neighborhood with tapas bars and restaurants open til 2am, yet the apartment was unbelievable quiet. The shower is small, but it didn't bother us. Everything worked, the WiFi, the AC, the hot water, the washer. The place is close to a lot of Madrid attractions and to the metro and the train station. 10/10, loved it and highly recommend it.
