Jose is an amazing host and also a local guide you are looking for. He gave us really good tips about the city. We had a chance to avoid all the tourist traps and had real Spanish food with locals. His recommendations are based on what you like so he has tips for everybody so don’t worry if you like all the touristic stuff but we preferred to stay away from it. Having said that it’s not all about his recommendations. His place is really nice and super clean and he makes sure it stays like that as we stayed with other guests at his flat. The location is good as you are very close to the metro station and the river. We skipped the big mall but went to the beautiful culture centre nearby. We loved the Latin American food in the neighbourhood and the people. Really looking forward to visiting Madrid again and we know where we are going to stay :-)
