I really liked staying at Javier's place. The location is very good, not far from the park El Retiro, Museum Prado and the train station. The room was very nice with an amazing bed. Since it was extremely hot in the beginning of July, the table fan saved my life at night (thank you, Javier, for providing it). Javier was very helpful, he responded very fast to all my messages and emailed me detailed instructions on how to get to his house. Although, I did not have a chance to meet him in person, his friend welcomed me at the door and showed me around. Javier was very considerate, I was given a shelf in the fridge and was allowed to use a washing machine. And he has two very friendly dogs! I would definitely recommend his place to all the travellers and would stay there again.
