The location of Javier's room is perfect for exploring Madrid central on foot. We had restaurants/eateries at our doorstep and there was plenty of nightlife if you did want to explore a bar or three. Javier was a very courteous and helpful host, providing assistance and guides to the city when we arrived. The apartment itself is amazing, large and while the living space is shared, we rarely saw anyone else. The bedroom was great (a massive TV screen) and very spacious plus it had a cute balcony where you can sit out and relish being in the heart of lively Madrid. The bathroom was enourmous including having two basins so you don't need to share with your partner if you don't want to! It's worth noting it can get a little noisy in this part of town but we didn't mind that, it kind of became white noise for us and we had the windows open all night regardless. This is a great place to stay and you won't be wanting for anything either within the apartment or in the neighborhood itself. It has everything.
