As a both air bnb host and guest from NY, I highly recommend Juan's apartment in Madrid. The location is the best! It's right in the middle of the city. 1 walk to Gran Via metro station. 10-15 min walk to the whole city.

The loft itself, as you can see from the pictures, is very nice and homey. It's perfect for 1 person or a couple. It's on the back side of the building so it is very quiet even it is right in the middle of the busy district. Everything in the apartment is functional except there is no air conditioning in the apartment as mentioned in the listing. I was there in early July when it's 40/104 degrees outside. It was a little warm during the day. However, it was totally fine during the night. I had no hard time falling asleep with only a small fan.

Juan is the best! He was the one who waited for me when I checked in. He was very nice even he didn't speak much English. You still can feel his warm heart. He was very responsive on the message on Air bnb. He answered all the questions within a short time which was very helpful and responsible. He offered a map with all the restaurants he recommended.

Overall, I had a very good time in Madrid and hope I will come back again soon. Thank you Juan.
