Jose's place is cozy just as announced, located in a quiet neighborhood, not far from subway - and you will use Madri's Metro a lot!, so it will deliver you to every interesting touristic points in few time. :) The stairs to reach its floor are indeed a discomfort when arriving and leaving with luggage, but this information is clear in the ad, so it's up to you - and it's worth the economy and other positive aspects, in my opinion. The queen size bed, pillows, sheets and everything else are clean and comfortable. Heating works perfectly (actually we haven't even minded it, as the house and room temperature were always good). When windows are closed, the bedroom gets really dark, even during daylight, so you may rest peacefully all the hours you need. The kitchen is well equipped and the fridge offers good space. Bathroom is very clean and organized - it has little space, indeed, but you wil adapt in no time. Jose's presence in his house combines privacy for the guest with availability of the host. I totally recommend renting it during your stay is this very nice city. :)
