José was a great host! Is flat is a little outside the city center but in a very friendly busy area with lots of restaurants, bars, supermarkets, ATMS. The metro is about a 5-7 minute walk away from the flat. Jose gave me directions to anywhere I wanted to go on the metro. He also gave me great food reccomendations. He provided towels, soap, and shampoo which is very nice. The bed is very comfortable. At night, it's very quiete in the area. I would encourage anyone who's going to madrid to stay here.
