I highly recomment this lovely apartment as a great place to stay in Madrid. Javier is a wonderful host - greeting me when I first arrived and explaining all of the things I needed to know about the apt, being so responsive to any messages I sent when I had questions, arranging transportation to the airport, and for giving great recommendations for what to do and where to eat. It is in a great location not only for navigating to all the tourist sites but there are also several great cafes, bars, and restaurants very close by to enjoy. While it is in a very lively area, when fully closed the window doors block out noise so was usually very quiet for sleeping. The only thing to note is that it is on the third floor with no elevator (6 set of stairs), but they really weren't that bad, and it was well worth it as the apartment is so spacious and welcoming.
