Jose's place cannot be better located. It is right in the heart of Madrid with walkable access to Plaza Mayor, Mercado San Miguel and Sol. At the same time, it is close to popular neighbourhoods like La Latina and Malasaña. Yet, if you close the windows and shades, there is no issue at all with the noise. We had a lovely time and would return. The downsides: It is a small space (shown in the pictures), the kitchen only fits one person, and the top floor cannot fit a tall person (+1.75cm) standing. These were minor inconveniences for us but are good to keep in mind.
