Javier was a wonderful host. We met with him and he explained how to move around the city, gave us a map and recommendations for restaurants which were all amazing. He even called his friend who owns a restaurant around the corner and they kept the kitchen open a little longer so we could have lunch over there, the food was excellent. Javier's appartmentis located right at the heart of the city were you want to be, there is a tourist office just across the street, royal palace is one minute walking, San miguel market just 3 minutes walking. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, he had a bottle of wine for us, coffee, tea and a well equipped kitchen, the bed is large and very comfortable, the lighting in the appartment is nice and easy to use. I'll recommend Javier and his appartment any time. Don't look any further, this is the right place to stay in Madrid.
