This place is the perfect size for 2-3 people and in a neighborhood with a prime location. The Paseo De los Artes is just a 10 min. walk away and Sol (the center of the city) 5 from that. The neighborhood of Lavapies sometimes gets a bad rap but I lived there before my stay at Javier's place for 4 months and loved it. Its the most diverse, eclectic and interesting barrio in Madrid. Plus, the very hip La Latina is just a short walk next door. Javier was very accommodating and very kind. He made himself really available to help out with whatever me and my family needed. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again if I got the chance.
