Juan José and Pilar's home is a wonderful place to stay--just as the previous reviewers have all noted. I lived with them for about a month and they were as wonderful and kind as imaginable, and never intrusive. If you have the chance to stay with them, you should. Their home is located right next to the Retiro as well as to major subway and bus lines. The room itself is quiet and is also located in the coolest room of the house, which is important if you're traveling during the summer months. The room also feels much larger than is depicted in the photo, in part because of the common living area. All of this is made even better by the fact that this family is just so very nice.
