While Rosa's place was neat, clean and close to a lot of things in the city, I had a terrible experience with communication. due to a lack of communication on her part, I didn't know how to get in the building, the code etc. I was stuck in the city after a 24 hour travel day with all my luggage and thinking I wouldn't have a place to stay for the night as I waited over 12 hours for a response. She finally reached out to me after 4pm (I landed at 8 and communicated with her then). we had discussed letting me drop my baggage off earlier in the day but she never gave me instructions on how to do that. let's just say there were many tears and it was quite a traumatic first day in Madrid. The neighborhood is good overall but there are some sketchy areas on the street. I saw some prostitutes setting up show a block away which made me very uncomfortable as a solo traveler in a bit city. I think all of that should be known should anyone else wish to stay.
