Chamberi (~Notting Hill) or Lavapies (~Hackney) are both central and decent to stay/close to Metro
Calle cava baja for tapas
Have a bocadillo de calamare, they're amazing
Good day trip would be Segovia (about an hour or so on the train) for Roman aqueduct and general pleasantness.
Casa de Campo (ENOURMOUS park) and Retiro park are worth visiting
Estrella Galicia > all other beers
