We adored our stay in Madrid at Jose Maria's. Jose was very sweet, offering loads of suggestions of where to eat or to experience the Madrid lifestyle. The apartment was perfect as our home away from home with the kitchen that had all we needed. The new hot water heater was great. Loved the Nespresso maker! The location was in the perfect neighborhood of Malasana....Very walkable to fun local restaurants, nightlife and far afield via the Metro close by. The only thing Jose apologized for was the weather but we hardly noticed the few raindrops. Fun vacation! Thanks!
