Jose is truly a wonderful host.
He meets you at the appointed time; returns your calls immediately; and does his very besy to accommodate your requests.
For example, I mentioned my disappointment that there was no microwave. The next day, he arrived with a brand-new one, as well as another, firmer pillow (per my request) and more fluffy towels. In my opinion, he gets an A+ for those additional touches.
If you've never been to Madrid, his apartment is in the absolute, most perfect location. You can walk anywhere without tiring yourself out and see everything: The magnificent Grand Via, Puerto del Sol; Plaza Santa Ana. There are more than enough wonderful restaurants within walking distance to satisfy all your cravings --from La Mucca to Miss Sushi. There are ATMs nearby and several supermarkets. There is a huge refrigerator so you can stock up on food and eat-in if you prefer.
The apartment is a clean cozy space with great sunlight. Personally, I don't think it's large enough for three adults, but there is a couch that opens up into a bed.
I would definitely recommend Jose's apartment .
