I really enjoyed my stay in José Alberto's studio. The apartment itself was great: it was really well equipped, the bed was comfortable, it felt secure (I was staying on my own), and the little balcony let in the afternoon sun and looked out over a side street. It was also in a great location with some really cool bars and restaurants around, and walkable to most any place in central Madrid. José Alberto was a fantastic host, giving a friendly welcome and lots of great local suggestions for things to do and bits of interesting information about the city. He also had no guests arriving on the day I left and so very kindly offered that I stay later than the check out time, which was very much appreciated!
I think this is a great base to explore Madrid from and would definitely return.
Thank you José Alberto!
