Javier's apartment was the best of both worlds: close to the action without being noisy. The description isn't kidding: just a few minutes to the Prado or Reina Sofia, an extra few minutes (easily walkable) to the Atocha train station or Parque Retiro, and an easy walk to old town (Sol, Plaza Mayor). The apartment's excellent location was matched by Javier's hospitality. There's a reason he's rated so highly! He made our stay an easy one and the apartment easily accommodated 7 adults. It's not an exaggeration to say I would consider planning a future trip around the availability of one of Javier's listings. Very satisfied!
