Juan's place is compact, impeccably clean and has pretty much everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We were travelling as two parents with a teenaged son, and it suited us very well. Juan was very easy to communicate with with excellent English and helped us with small things very quickly. We loved walking in Madrid and enjoyed this very stimulating city. The El Prado was an easy 25-30 minute walk, much of it along leafy pedestrian ways in the centre of wide streets. A big grocery store around the corner. Laundry machine, drying rack and iron all in the apartment. Coming from Canada, I continue to be surprised at what lies behind those old wood doors in old parts of European cities -- in this case, ancient stairs leading to a very modern well designed place.
