Location: Great location between Embajadores/Acacia, Lavapies and Puerta de Toledo. Room: The bathroom and bedroom were clean and I had access to the kitchen and some space in the fridge. The room face on to a quiet parking area and doesn't get direct sunlight, so it does feel much cooler than outside. Javier placed a heater in the room for good reason, and I appreciated the additional duvet and sheets, which I didn't use. There was a faint smell of smoke in the living room but I didn't spend much time in there.
Host: Javier was quick to respond and provided me with a hairdryer when I asked if he had. He showed me how to operate the lock on the front door which is a little sticky and needs less than a full turn.
