This Airbnb apartment is our favorite! Jose met us at the house. He is friendly, fun, enthusiastic and helpful. He and his family lived in this house for twelve years so he knows it well and loves it dearly. The apartment is adorable, bright, and clean. Best of all, it is a lovely quiet oasis right in the middle of bustling Madrid. It's a 5-minute walk to the peace of the Retiro, as well as the Atocha train station. It's close to the three big museums and one small (the Naval Museum) we wanted to visit. We never used the Metro or bus. And we made every meal at home because there were so many good supermarkets and little markets nearby - and the kitchen was great. We had the best time in Madrid and can't recommend highly enough this sweet bright oasis and its lovely host and hostess.
