Super host doesn’t even come close to describing the experience Jose offers with this stay!
Great instructions, he was waiting with keys when I arrived, and showed me all the quirks of the place.
The views of the city were magical, and with the beautiful weather in Madrid during my stay - the windows and skylights were open every day. The pictures don’t do Jose’s place justice!
The bed and pillows were comfortable, and there were so many details that go above and beyond a normal experience: toothpaste, shower supplies, hair dryer, sunscreen, bug spray, coffee, tea, olive oil, sugar, playing cards, plug converters, laundry detergent, cloths rack with hangers, dish soap and sponge, and so many more things. Jose’s place felt like a home away from home, and truly took the stress out of long days of travel.
A/C worked great, and a fan was available for use.
Location could not have been better: 2 minute walk to Opera Metro station, 5 minute walk to the Royal Palace, and a quick walk for groceries, bars, and restaurants.
Only disclaimers which seemed apparent when I booked: I am 6’ tall and didn’t hit my head once - although I did come close a time or two. Areas are certainly low but that’s what gives this place the ambience unlike anywhere else. The main walkways and rooms are plenty-tall. Additionally, the stairs up to the 4th floor are rather uneven, but a small elevator runs up the center of the stairway so if you’re tired from a long day or have things to carry - no worries!
When I return to Madrid in the future, I will certainly be staying with Jose again!
