Jose's immaculate, spacious apartment is in the absolute top-tier out of the apartments I've rented off AirBnb. Centrally located atop a beautiful, lively square, it's super clean, freshly renovated and sports, without a doubt, one of the best views I've ever seen. Seriously. We couldn't wait to get home and hang out on the balconies!
Location? Perfect. Almost everything you'd want to see if walkable from the apartment, and the metro (which we found quick and reliable) is mere steps from the front door.
Kitchen and bathroom has everything you need – all updated, all sparkling. The fridge was stocked with beer and Coke Light. The bathroom is spacious and modern with a wonderful dual shower and strong water pressure. The living room is airy and cozy. I loved just laying back and listening to the vibrant street life outside, but the space is also great if you want peace and quiet. Windows are strong as can be and keep the street noise out if you don't want to hear it.
Jose? Well, he is the ideal host – super warm and communicative. He provides a wonderful environment to explore Madrid, which I just might say is my new favorite city.
