This place is near perfect, the apartment was exactly as described. The location was great with many places to shop, eat and drink and a very short walk into the centre of Madrid . Javier"s mother checked us in and despite her lack of English made as feel welcome as soon as we walked in . As for Javier , couldn't ask for a nicer host taking the time to come have a drink with us and show us a few truly local spots . Highly recommend a stay here !
