Four friends and I stayed at Santiago's apartment for three nights at the end of August. This was our favorite apartment of the 8 hotels/apartments we stayed at during our three weeks traveling around Europe. Javier was extremely helpful and accommodating. Two days before our arrival, two friends decided they wanted to join three of us in Madrid. We contacted Santiago and it was not a problem for the two additional guests to join us. The apartment was clean and spacious. Most importantly each room had an air conditioner. Several places we stayed in Spain had air conditioner only in the living room thus bedrooms would be warm. But Santiago's place was cool and pleasant in every room. Also, the kitchen had spices, sugar, and oils for us to use. From our previous experiences, we usually have to purchase these items on our own so it was nice to find them in the apartment. We arrived about 10 in the morning and there was someone to let us in and show us around the apartment and answer our questions. We loved the neighborhood, we walked or took the metro most places. At night we were a short inexpensive taxi ride away from the restaurants and bars we wanted to visit. The five of us agreed that we loved this place and one of my friends said he would rent Santiago's apartment for 6 months if he could afford it. Definitely recommend for anyone to stay here.
