John's place was located in the centre of Madrid, making it super easy to get anywhere by walking. There is also a metro not too far, and it's in a hipster neighbourhood. The host was very responsive on airbnb prior to us checking in, and helped us up with our suitcase (the apartment is on the 4th floor with no elevator). Donwnsides are that it can get a bit noisy given the nature of the neighbourhood, and there was sometimes smoke smell in the apartment. I'd also say that the room is a bit small for 2, with luggage on the floor there isn't much room to move around. Wifi is also quite slow - sometimes I couldn't even log into my email..
Overall, quite identical to what is posted and good value if you're mainly looking to be close to the city center!
