We had a wonderful stay in Madrid at Javier's place, and really loved the flat. It was very cozy and incredibly central to so many things we wanted to see. It's practically across the street from El Retiro (Madrid's Central Park), a block away from the metro, and right next to the lovely Salamanca neighborhood. Logistically, this was awesome for our arrival as we took the metro from the airport and had a very short walk to the flat. Afterwards, it was another 4-5min walk to a nearby Vodaphone store to get set up up with cell service for the rest of our trip. The flat itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We'd love to stay here again!
