The room is one of three in the flat and Ulises' mom lives there too. Both Ulises and Susana made me feel welcome and use WhatsApp to navigate arrival and other needs you may have while there. Susana is home much of the time and is usually available for questions/help.

I was there for 5 weeks while studying Spanish at Eureka (also recommend the school). I felt comfortable cooking in the kitchen everyday. It is well equipped and not used much by Susana or short term guests.

Communicating with Susana was straightforward and easy, although she speaks Spanish quickly and with an Argentinian accent so I found it easier to practice Spanish with others in Madrid.

As a monthly guests, she laundered my bedding and towel every week, which was nice. The bed was simple but comfortable. Friday and Saturday nights are noisy until1am from the cafe/bar on the first floor. Ear plugs helped or you can also just luv lime a Madrileño and stay out late.

The location in my opinion is unbeatable. The price is right. Mercado Cebada across the street makes for fun food shopping, or you can hit local alimentaciónes (tiendas) for organic or conventional veggies. But YOU MUST go to see Daniel in the Mercado. He owns Maracuya, a wine bar to the right as you first enter down the steps of Cebada. He is the maestro of Spanish wine and for a few euros you will find yourself drinking wonderful riojas while snacking on bread with cheese and truffle oil wondering why you haven't lived here before.
