This listing does not emphasize enough how great the area is. It’s on an adorable street, equidistant from Parque de Retiro and the shopping streets Serrano and Velasquez in barrio Salamanca. This really is one of the nicest streets you could be on in Madrid. If not this one it would be tied with one of the ones around it. It’s really ideal. The building itself is beautiful. The elevator is small, as is every other elevator in an apartment building in Madrid, but it’s one of the nicest most romantic buildings I’ve seen in Madrid. Stay at Javiers and feel like the most luxurious of the locals. Location, location, location.
