This was my second stay at José's place in La Latina. There was extreme heat in Madrid for the entirety of the trip. However, the apartment was very fresh with excellent air conditioning. (It is a basement apt, so it may seem a little musty at first. I opened the windows when I first arrived and it cleared out.) Even more, the patio with its thick surrounding walls, covered with a lovely old grape vine, provided respite from noise and sun and right in the center of Madrid. The location is accommodating and it's easy to get anywhere. José checked in several times and is very attentive and communicative. I highly recommend this place.
