Javier's apartment was just as the pictures show. Javier's mother Pilar did the check in and let us in early to the apartment. She was extremely polite and was able to communicate with us despite the language barrier.
It is a studio apartment with a full size bed, kitchenette,couch,small table, and bathroom. It also has a small balcony with full floor to ceiling Windows and a view over a small square on the edge of Chueca. The location is great for nightlife, shopping, and restaurants. For us, it is also within walking distance for many of the major attractions. We love walking, so we walked pretty much everywhere during our stay. However, the metro is 4 short blocks away for easy access to everywhere in the city.
The bathroom is the best we had in Spain as the shower has great water pressure! The apartment is in an apartment building so there is some noise from neighbors from time to time but it did not really bother us too much. There is no noise from the street though because there are two layers of balcony Windows. There is also an elevator in the building. Javier also provided toiletries, a hair dryer, towels and toilet paper.
On our last day of our stay we met Javier and he took us to a local churros restaurant for breakfast. Javier was so nice and spoke English very well. It was great to get to meet him and learn about his town and himself.
We would definitely stay in Javier's apartment again if we return to Madrid. Thanks for a great stay!
