We had a great 3 week Madrid experience staying in Jose's apartment. The location is perfect - close to trendy Chueca and a 15min walk to Grand Via or short and very direct metro ride! Our hosts were very accommodating and responsive to all our questions/requests. Apartment is neat and newly renovated with a lovely little balcony. Stairs may be difficult for some but was a great leg workout for us. Gym and many restaurants and bars nearby.
