José's place is so comfy and clean I wanted to stay longer but couldn't because another guest was coming. Fantastic English and an ultra modern bathroom and kitchen.... unbeatable for that price and for being on line 5. Its a very safe main street, not noisy and a main supermarket 5 min away. Aluche is a very safe working class to lowermiddle class barrio, you'll never have trouble on the metro, but keep an eye open near the bus stations after 130am especially if you don't speak Spanish or aren't streetwise. I'd recommend this place for any amount of time if this is your budget. Definitely the nicest and most hospitable place I've stayed in yet.
