If you're lucky enough to stay at Jose's place, your Madrid visit will be immeasurably enhanced. You walk in and find yourself in a most attractive and comfortable space flooded with light. Step out on the balcony and you're face to face with a beautiful mural. This apartment is home away from home -- with a workable and well equipped kitchen, a good sized bedroom and comfortable bed, a real shower, and two sofas for relaxing after a day/night exploring Madrid. The location is perfect and walkable to practically everywhere -- the youthful energy of Lavapies and the Reina Sofia to the south and the more traditional public spaces and museums north of Atocha. Memorable restaurants, bars, cafes, food markets, wine stores, and the best chocolat/churros are within blocks of the apartment. I happily spent nine days there and would return in a heartbeat. If you're reading this, look no further and book Jose's apartment now!
