Fantastic apartment at a great rate. It's situated in an area that's not super central, but it's close to a couple of train stations and taxis in Madrid are generally very cheap. The room and bathroom were IMMACULATE and the fact that the room has an AC is reason alone to stay, because Madrid is killer hot in the summer. While I didn't get to interact with Israel too much, he was pleasant when we did speak. My only "complaint" is that I wish he would have given more tips about places to see, where to eat, things to do, etc., but otherwise i'd recommend!
