I stayed at Javier’s apartment for 2 nights with my friend. The apartment is very well located within walking distance to all the major sites in Madrid, and literally steps from the train station. It’s a nice building with an elevator, which we were really grateful for with our luggage. The apartment itself is very sparsely decorated. It reminded us of how an apartment would look for a guy at university. We had minor issues with the place when we got there. Javier had warned us that a previous guest had broken the shower head, but he hadn’t time to fix it yet. We also found towels in the bathroom that we assumed were leftover from a previous guest, and damp towels in the washer. We informed Javier of this, and he apologized profusely, but he was out of town and therefore unable to do anything about it. The apartment ended up being okay for us as it was well priced and well located. We would stay here again if it were perhaps spruced up a bit.
