Jose's apartment is all about location, location, location - steps away from Plaza Mayor & public transportation. There is a good amount of street noise (which did not bother us) but once the windows are closed it's fairly quiet. The bedrooms & bathroom are small but functional. There are no closets or drawers, so you are forced to live out of your suitcase. The upstairs loft bedroom does not allow one to stand upright, it's strictly for sleeping. Check-in was very good & friendly, an explanation was given of all the sites. We requested a drying rack for our washed clothes which was brought to us quickly. We were a party of 4 adults and overall, the apartment met our needs for a short visit to Madrid.
