José is a wonderful host, he takes a good care of his guests. Puente de Vallecas is not the most elegant neighborhood in Madrid, the streets are full of dogshit, people do not really care about their environment here but there are many stores and some restaurants around and the nearest subway station is not that far either (about 15 minutes walk). The apartment is on the other hand very nice, I really appreciated the living room and the kitchen, which are available for all the guests. The landlord (José) does not live in the apartment, there are 3 bedrooms altogether, but the largest bedroom, where I stayed, has its own private bathroom. I felt like home in José´s apartment.
