José & María were really great hosts. First of all, they were flexible and they answered on all our questions very quickly. When we arrived in Madrid, we communicated through WhatsApp and they were available for any questions. They speak english pretty well so communication with them was easy. Furthermore, they very kind. For example, we traveled with a baby and we asked them for a cradle. We were yery suprised (positively :)) to find cradle and many things that we needed for a child, but we did not asked for them, for example highchair, blankets, plastic dishes and so on. Last day, María organized taxi on our behalf, as we hardly communicated whit spanish taxi drivers (it seems that very few of them speak english). We really felt as we stayed in apartment that belongs to our friends.
Apartment is not big, but there is enough space as it is well organized. Pictures of it are very accurate. Bed in sleeping room is very comfortable. Kitchen is really good equipped – there is everything you need if you want to cook (pots, pans…). Location is great. The street is very quiet, but very close to the main street with supermarket and bus stops from which you can go everywhere you want. Metro line is closed untill November. You can also go everywhere by foot if you want – you can enjoy in Retiro park if you walk five or ten minutes to one of the entrances. We saw lot of things we planned to see while we were walking and we really enjoyed. After all-we highly recommend this apartment and hosts and hope that we will be back one day :) 
