Jose's apartment is located approximately 10 minutes outside Puerta de Sol, the lively city center of Madrid, and only about an 8 euro taxi. The apartment is also just a 10 minute walk from the Atocha train station, which is where you will likely arrive and depart from. I would suggest making sure you have directions from the train station to the apartment before your arrival, as it could be tough to find the place without it. The room is private and there is a shared bathroom, washing machine, and living room with couch/tv. Jose was very welcoming and let me use any part of the apartment I needed to during my stay. The bed is a bit small but will work just fine if you are traveling alone through Madrid. Jose and I had several meals together and he showed me several cool parts of Madrid. Overall, Jose is a cool host and this was a well-located apartment at a reasonable price in a cool part of Madrid that is near the city center.
