Jose is a wonderful host. Incredibly kind and responsive. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos, in a lovely building with elevator. The location is really excellent. You are 10 mins walking in one direction to Plaza Mayor and the Mercado San Miguel, and 15 minutes in the other direction walking to El Parque del Retiro and El Prado. I never took the metro or a taxi anywhere. I just walked the lovely (and very safe) streets. Jose's apartment is exactly the kind of experience one hopes to find in an Airbnb -- stress-free and in the heart of it all. Gracias Jose!
