Israel was very friendly but gave his guests a lot of privacy and their privacy. His place was clean and it is housed in a lovely neighbourhood. Exactly as described. It might be a sweeping statement but I dare say the room is one of the best value in Madrid to the best of my knowledge. You get your own toilet to boot. Granted, it is not in the city centre but it is close to various metro stations and very well-connected. Also, you get a taste of how Spaniards live day to day. An unbearable experience.
