Maria Jose’s place is cozy, comfortable, and quiet. It’s well-located with terrifically diverse restaurant choices within a block or two, and is a short walk to Estación Atocha (main train station), two metro stops, and buses. La Casa Encendida (cultural center) is across the street and El Teatro Circo Price (circus and dance programs) is one block away. Three large supermarkets are within five minutes walk, including a 24-hour one.

Maria Jose herself was tremendous! We stayed a month, and she dropped by weekly to change the towels and beddings. She even popped by on our last day, and helped take down our luggage. We mentioned we were experiencing an issue in the bathroom, and she picked up the phone and called a plumber on the spot. We highly recommend this listing if you’re staying in Madrid.
