Jose was a perfect host, he was very welcoming. His appartment is very clean and cosy, close to the supermarket and also public transport (2 metro stations,. bus station 2 minutes away.). He also provided me with a map of the subway system and a explained how it worked. With the public transport you are able to be in the city centre in about 15 minutes. I had a great time in Madrid, would definately reccomend this Jose's place!
