Juan's place was perfect for my husband and I to explore Madrid. We walked to the sites such as the Prado Museum and Royal palace which were 20-30 min walks, but there is a bus stop and metro stop near by. It's in the Cheuca neighborhood which is trendy with chic shops and restaurants. The apartment was very modern and clean. As others have said, it's on the 5th floor without an elevator so make sure you can physically handle that. Juan wasn't able to check us in, but he sent a lot of helpful information beforehand and Lidia was great showing us the apartment, even though she didn't speak much English.
