Javier is a terrific and thoughtful host. He was right there when we arrived and efficiently settled us into this lovely little apartment in el centro. It was perfect for our first 2 days in Madrid before we set off to Barcelona to follow our son's youth orchestra tour throughout Spain. We actually returned to Madrid for the end of the tour and stayed in another property managed by Javier which, while a bit more expensive, was pretty spectacular. Close to everything important to us (museums and great restaurants) we could not have picked a better host to help us with our trip. We highly recommend renting properties from Javier for your visits to Madrid.
