We stayed in Javier's place when we came to Madrid for a week to visit with my daughter who is studying at a university in the city. Three of us total stayed in the partment. We fell in love with this place the minute we walked through the door. It is lovely, with beautiful details throughout (the tile floors, the big windows, the sweet kitchen). It is perfectly located for a visit to Madrid... literally steps from the metro (and the metro stop is also on the circular line) and several bus stops. The neighborhood is full of little cafes, restaurants and grocery stores. We took in all the sites of Madrid, coming back to the apartment to put up our heels, make a meal, relax together. I miss making myself coffee in the morning while looking out over the courtyard and watching the dogs and people passing by. I felt very lucky to have secured this place and would feel lucky to stay here again!
