The location was just perfect and right in the middle of action - 2 mins from Plaza Mayor and also La Latina train station. Was easy to get from the airport. All the sights in Madrid were within walking distance from here - lots of places to eat and great Tapas bars. Javier was a nice host who responds very quickly on email. He even escorted us to the apartment when we were having trouble locating it. We had our daughter along and the place was a bit cramped for three of us. But difficult to get big rooms in the old Madrid quarters.
