I had an amazing stay with Jose. He was very friendly and welcoming and made me feel right at home. He was very willing to help me plan activities to do in Madrid, help me figure out public transport, and share history or local insight when he could. He even invited me out for dinner with his friends one night to a restaurant they have been going to every week for several years. The room was perfect for one person. The bed was comfortable and the room had a big wardrobe with hangers provided. I used the kitchen to make dinner several nights and it worked well. Jose had a shelf in the pantry and fridge ready for me when I got there and was very happy to let me use any of his kitchen supplies. The location of the apartment was great. Very close to the Atocha train station as well as a smaller city train station and the metro. Jose provided a metro map so I was able to move around the city very easily. If I am ever in Madrid again I will definitely stay with Jose!
