Jose is a nice, friendly, and accommodating host. He speaks English very well and is able to communicate perfectly with any of his guests. He provides anything that anyone would need to stay and have a comfortable space. Jose also makes himself available for any questions, concerns or needs. He's knowledgeable of the area and can assist his guests with anything they need. Jose was a great host and was very helpful. The location of the place is not necessarily near any touristy areas or parts of Madrid. It is in a residential area with plenty of cafes and restaurants around; However, you would need to walk quite a bit if you would want to see anything in particular in Madrid. But Jose lives near public transportation with a subway right outside of the building and bus stops pretty close.
