Johnny is an absolutely fantastic host! I highly recommend staying at his apartment. I just moved to Madrid and was looking for a place to stay for a week before I moved into my own apartment. Couldn't have picked a better option.

For starters, its walking distance from Sol Plaza, the 0-km heart of Madrid. Secondly, the street (Lavapies) the apartment's on has a fantastic ethnic vibe that you might just lovee if you're into that sort of thing. Thirdly, the apartment's nice and clean. Its everything his description said it would be. Fourthly, Johnny is simply a chill guy.

I have a lot of respect for people who 1) respect your privacy, and 2) go wayy out of their way to help out. I barely speak any Spanish at all, and was freaking out about finding an apartment in time. Johnny helped me make a whole lot of calls to landlords and agencies translating along without any complaint. That's just cool.

Therefore, whoever you may be, whatever sphere of life you're from - consider this option strongly. I had a great week initiating myself into Madrid, and a large reason for that was the convenience granted by staying in this apartment :)
