Javier’s place is very well appointed, and ideally centrally located to many of the sites and neighborhoods you’ll likely visit. It’s fun being on Plaza Santa Ana, with many restaurants and bars to choose from less than 500’ from you - not to mention the countless options within very short walking distance. I appreciated the style in which Javier has decorated the place, and it feels very modern and hip. But it’s also well laid out and comfortable. Some of the amenities which were nice, were having huge, plush towels to use every morning - and a small, but well stocked kitchen, including a little Nespresso machine which was a godsend. Having a little patio, to come back and have a drink on, while unwinding and people watching in the plaza was fun. The building in general seemed well maintained, and quiet within the building. The plaza does get going at night to be sure, but if you don’t want the noise, the windows do a good job of bringing quiet to the place. Lastly, Javier went out of his way to offer a curated list of places to eat and explore - and was super generous in trying to help me track down some tickets. Madrid is such a fun city, and if you’re looking for a good location and place to stay while seeing the sites, this is it.
