We stayed at Jose Luis’ apartment for 3 nights. It’s in a great, lively, multi-cultural neighborhood 5 minute walk from the metro (Lavapies or Embajadores) and 20 minute walk to Atocha train station. The apartment is nicely laid out and appears to be getting some upgrades. A couple of things to consider: as Jose Luis clearly states in his property description, this is an attic apartment. That means lots of stairs (over 100) and pitched ceilings in the living room and bedroom. If you have mobility issues or are over 6 feet tall, these may present challenges for you. Otherwise, nice spot.
