First of all, Maria and Jose were fantastic hosts. I lived in the apartment for 5 months while I was conducting research at the National Library. The few times any maintenance issues came up, they handled it the same day or the next day. The apartment is a small studio perfect for one or two people. It's located on a quiet street close to a main avenue and very close to museums and the Atocha train station. It's a short walk from Retiro park. A treat to take morning or evening walks! Buses, metro and trains are easily accessible and several grocery stores are within walking distance. Can't say enough great things about this place.
