Location, cleanliness, condition, decoration, and amenities all ample at Jose Luis' place. An actual stone's throw from Plaza Lavapies so plenty of multi-ethnic food very close. Even though this is the case, the apartment is quiet as its external windows are not facing the street. Plenty of room, except you need to learn how to use the shower as it is slightly small. You get used to it though. Has city guides, Spanish books, encyclopedias, cooking items, TV, everything in the photos, plus power adapters which proved handy. It is South of central Madrid but I walked to school in the northern part of the center in 20 minutes so very walkable for tourism (Metro is also at the foot of the Plaza which as I said is a 30 second walk away). We weren't able to meet Juan Carlos but did meet Ana and she was very friendly and spoke English perfectly. The whole thing was a good surprise!
