We needed three bedrooms in Madrid and Jesus' place was ideal. Supermarket fruit shop, and butcher are very close by. There is a supermercado almost directly across the road... but google doesn't show this, so don't be fooled. Jesus was a very responsive host and provided information on good restaurants in the area. The apartment is out of the city next to a beautiful park. Taxi fare to Prado is 6 or 7 euro and about 10 minutes. A couple of gotchas: No Wifi. I didn't realise this until I arrived (my fault I didn't check). Also... because it is a basement apartment there was a musty smell but this disappeared after half an hour.
