I lived at Cristofer’s for 3 months and found the location to be excellent. You are not surrounded among other tourists and it’s 30 mins walk/15 mins train to city centre (Sol). Theres a 24h super market 2 mins away and a very good bakery and ice cream shop. Fuencarral street is nice. Cristofer is a good host and might invite you out for Salsa dancing if you’re keen.
