José was a wonderful host during our 6 days in Madrid. The apartment was clean and cozy, complete with everything you would require for your stay.
We arrived in the evening, later than expected due to our flight being delayed yet José was there to welcome us with a smile and give us a tour of his penthouse.
Located in a bustling street of tapas taverns, you would think that you would not get a wink of sleep at night... wrong! Being 4 floors above the street and good insulation means that you will be sleeping like a baby!
José also provides a 'cheat sheet', a booklet of advice and information, including recommendations of local restaurants. This was extremely helpful for us tapas rookies!
Our personal recommendations in Madrid are tinto de verano (sangria but better), the Sandeman's walking tour, churros at San Gines chocolateria (we visited 3 times and one waiter recognised us!), Vermouth and tapas at San Miguel market and the 12€ brunch at Martina Cocina café. We unfortunately did not come across good paella so would recommend avoiding it!
Thank you José for your kindness and hospitality!
