We couldn't be happier with James and his cozy 2br flat! if you are looking for a simple place, that's close to everything and has all the bare necessities, then look no further.
The cost is a steal! Our 2 boys loved the fact that there was a Futsol pitch 1/2 a block away which always had welcoming local competition of all ages. the Bacilica 1/2 block in the other direction is more beautiful that the palace cathedral.. There is a grocery store a stones throw away. And you are a 5-20 min walk from any and everything in the Centro area.
Our absolute favorite end to the day was playing soccer with some locals along side the warm glow of the sunset and watching the Palace Cathedral lights come on as the sun sank on the horizon.
Is it fancy and first class? No. but you aren't in Madrid to stay inside. You simply need a central place to rest and recharge, so that you can go back out and soak in the essence of what Madrid has to offer.
And well,, this is the best bang for your buck!
