Javier's place was possibly our favorite in Spain! The apartment was just as advertised with a great terrace, close to Metro and in a good neighborhood. Javier's friend Antonio (Tato) was at the apartment to meet us even though transportation problems made us 1.5 hours later than planned. Tato showed us around the apartment, gave us excellent recommendations on where to find tapas and paella and circled for us on a map landmarks we might want to visit and tours to take. He was clear about "house rules" on quiet hours, checkout etc and even arranged a taxi to pick us up for our trip to the airport at the end of our stay. The bottle of wine he left for us to enjoy was a nice touch. Communication with Javier before and with him and Tato during our stay was easy and responsive. The friendliness displayed, clean and well-equipped apartment and availability to help during our stay were all very much appreciated. We felt at home and cared for. I would highly recommend this listing.
