I stayed for 1 week at Javi’s place. It was a lovely stay and I am quite happy with my entire experience. Upon arriving in Madrid and checking in I was a bit confused by the public transit system and got a little lost. But I eventually found my way and met Javi’s girlfriend to hand over the apartment keys. The room was cozy and had a very large wardrobe for hanging my clothes and storing my luggage. Major plus was the use of my own private bathroom during my stay. Shower was a bit tight to maneuver inside but I managed. I was also able to use the washing machine to do a load of laundry which was so appreciated. Previous guests had mentioned the noise levels coming from the alleyway. Although I did hear cars and people regularly it did not seem to affect quality of sleep if I had the shutter blinds closed. The room also had access to fan/air conditioner unit on the ceiling which was fantastic. Be aware that there is no lift/elevator in the building so dragging luggage all the way up to the third floor might be a challenge with guests who had a lot of heavy luggage. Overall I was quite pleased with the centralized location of the place which was close walking distance to a lot of things such as monuments, galleries and museums. Miigwetch/Javi for the wonderful stay!! I will definitely recommend your place to other guests.
