This is a great place for students to stay at! Its 20 minutes away with the bus to campus somosaguas and a 5 minute walk away from the grand Casa de Campo. The host is an open-minded guy with a lot of energy that makes anyone feel welcome. I stayed for a month and had a lovely time.
Good things to know:
It can get cold so bring indoor shoes.
20 minutes from door to exit of Plaza de España!
There are two (lovely) cats who live here.
The apartment is on the fifth floor, you get used to it.
