The location of the Airbnb was amazing!! We didn’t have to take the metro at all during our stay. It’s just behind the Gran Via and all its shops plus there is a Carrefour open 24/7 next to the flat. There is also an amazing Italian bar in the street owned by a super friendly man, so great for a morning cappuccino and a late night pizza (the best we’ve ever eaten!!). It’s a vibrant area which also means quite loud at night, the walls are thin but be aware that it’s the same in most airbnbs in the city. The place is well decorated, with Netflix, and will be a great place to explore Madrid from and relax. Jose was also super flexible, he called me directly after I booked as it was last minute and we were able to check in a bit earlier which was a relief. Only downsides were that it was not 100% clean as we arrived but I am sure that it will be improved. I recommend!
