Johan is SUCH a kind host. He gave me lots of recommendations and even grabbed a drink with me when I arrived. His place is located steps from the metro, which I used instead of walking alone in the dark. All main attractions in Madrid are easy to walk to from here, but as a female traveling solo, I felt better taking the metro at night. Occasionally, you will have to wait to use the bathroom as there will be other travellers sharing the house. The place was kept VERY clean, despite there being a shared kitchen & bathroom. I would absolutely recommend this place!
