Javier was a friendly host, and the textual description and photos of the apartment were accurate. The apartment was clean and spacious. Before our trip to Madrid, Javier provided detailed directions on how to get to the apartment from the rail station, which were helpful, and we were able to navigate our way without issue (a 15- or 20-minute walk). He met us at the apartment and provided us apartment details, as well as city information, and answered any questions we had. We stayed during late-December when the weather was a bit colder; thus, having a heat system was important for us, and the heater worked wonderfully. The location of the apartment (in Lavapies, an ethnically diverse neighborhood) was perfect for our itinerary, which included eating delicious food. However, since the city is very walkable, the apartment is great for any itinerary. The nearby 24-hour grocery store was very convenient and had a diverse selection of food. The only downside of the apartment, which another reviewer noted, the upstairs neighbor can be occasionally a bit loud.
