Jose was the perfect host! He was really responsive in the days leading up to our stay as we were coming into town very early from a redeye and needed to figure out logistics for our luggage. Since the apartment was being checked out of on the same day of our arrival, he let us store the luggage in his family's apt next door and communicated efficiently on when our apt was ready for us to go into (earlier than normal check in). He also checked in on a day that was overcast to make sure we knew how to use the heater if we felt we needed it. Thoughtful!

The apartment itself is very centrally located and was really great for two of us. It is a 5 minute walk from Sol, Plaza Santa Ana and a 15 minute walk to Prado, Palacio Real, etc. 10 minute walk to Rastro and Huertas. We walked everywhere our entire trip and it was the best way to get to know the city. The apartment is exactly what is shown in its description - clean and stocked with kitchen supplies and toiletries. While the apartment can definitely house 3 people (1 to sleep on couch/futon), I would recommend this for 1 or 2 people only because it's narrow. The terrace was great to sit for a glass of wine and people watching!
