I could not have been more happy with my stay so thank you Jose.
For those considering this property I would break down 3 things:
-The Accommodation
-Location
-Host
The **accommodation** is excellent, Jose’s flat is immaculate and very clean indeed.
The room is very comfortable with a very useful desk for work/browsing, the shower is excellent, the wifi super fast, and the neighbourhood very quiet and calm.
The **location** is also first rate, with a tube stop no more than 3 minutes walk from which you can access the whole city at a cost of roughly 1€ a trip. I rarely had a journey exceeding 25 minutes door to door. And for those with cultural tastes and preferring exercise, Atocha mainline station and the 3 big museums, (Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen), can be walked to in 15 or 20 minutes. All in all the location I found to be perfect, central with the added bonus of a quiet nighttime neighbourhood.
And lastly the **host**. In my travels using Air BnB this has proved to be the most important factor, and Jose is an excellent host. He could not have been more helpful, welcoming nor friendly. He comes with my five star recommendation.
Thank you my friend - I hope to see both Madrid and yourself again at a future date.
Best Regards
Rich
