Eduardo was a great host, very responsive and helpful with setting up transfer from the airport (which he didn't have to do). The apartment is in a good location - well connected with metro and bus lines, near all the sights I wanted to see and also near the train station which is great if you plan to organize a day trip by yourself (I went to Toledo), Also, took the train back to the airport so everything was very convenient.
The street is full of nice small places to eat and also convenience stores.
On Sunday it was just a short walk to the Rastro market which was also great (also a recommendation to experince)
