Jose's home is beautiful, on the most popular street (for both restaurants and drinks), has lovely views, and is conveniently located close to everything you may want to see/need as a visitor to Madrid. He has a guide book of local suggestions (which is how we knew which museums to visit on what days in order for them to be free!) and is extremely responsive and accommodating as a host. There is an ELEVATOR! Which I can't emphasize enough: is rare for this city, and the living room AC works well enough to make the bedroom feel breezy (even in August, when we went). Overall –– surpassed my expectations! Highly recommend!
