Im an Airbnb Host in NYC and I'd say this place is phenomenal. I stayed here for about 8 days with my parents and bro, and the whole place made us feel at home, relaxed with so much space and amenities to make our own food ( my old parents has eat rice and fish).... the area is super safe and less crowded bec it's the University neighborhood. 10-min walk to Metro and lots of restaurants and grocery. El Corte Inglés (near the Metro) has a giant supermarket underground. 2-minute walk to a small Carrefour and other groceries.15-minute walk to Debod, another 10 for the Royal Palace. it's great to stay here away for the bustle of the city center while still enjoying Madrid's delight
