Javier’s apartment was quaint, very well equipped and conveniently located near Atocha station - and walking distance from Madrid’s main attractions. Lavapies is a vibrant neighbourhood with a 24-hour supermarket and lots of bars very close to the apartment. Check-in and Check-out was very straightforward: Javier met us there, showed us around the apartment and told us about the city (providing a map too); upon leaving, we just had to put the keys back in his locker and let him know we’d left. Javier was a great host who left us to our own devices and was always in contact when needed. All in all, it was excellent value for money.
