Javier’s place was perfect inside and out. Exactly as pictured with fantastic views. It was very clean. The bed is a sofa bed but I personally found it comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious and the shower functioned perfectly. There are metros within 5-10 minutes walking distance, although you can really walk anywhere in Madrid from Javier’s place in <30 minutes. I stayed here as a solo traveler and felt especially safe in this area. Madrid is a busy city and while you are in close range to everything, the little plaza and immediate area is nice and quiet. The Latin Quarter is very close, as is the San Miguel market.
