Julian is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was a warm and welcoming host for our entire visit. He offered us breakfast and coffee every morning during our stay and made sure we were comfortable. He does not speak English and I only speak very limited Spanish, but it was enough for us to communicate what we needed to and he was very patient with me. The location was great-- it was about a 30-45 minute walk to the central area of Madrid, depending on where you go, or a 15 minute metro ride. The walk from the apartment to the metro station was only about 5 minutes, which made it very easy to get to and from the airport. The apartment was very clean, the shower worked well, the room had one bed and enough room for luggage, and the kitchen and fridge were available for use, though we did not need them during our stay. I would recommend this apartment for anyone staying in Madrid!
