Positive experience, without a doubt! First of all, good contact with the owner before making a reservation (swift replies, even though it was a Sunday). The apartment is conveniently located in central Madrid (I was able to do all the sightseeing on foot!) and within just 10 minutes' walk from the main train station (from where also a bus runs to the airport 24 hrs a day). The street itself is quiet, though. The room was as in the pictures, no bad surprises ;-) The bed very comfortable (anyway, after a day spent walking I slept like a log…). I was given some useful tips about places to see and eat, etc. by the owner. Apart from being helpful, José is also a friendly person, somebody you feel at ease with. I used his kitchen to prepare my own breakfast and enjoyed it afterwards without a hurry in his large living room. If I pop into Madrid again, I'll book with him without hesitation!
