Javier’s place was great in many ways. It reminded me of some Hong Kong guest houses I stayed in back in the 80s. Small, functional, not the sort of place you hang around in during the day (but why would you? You’re in Madrid!). Unlike the guesthouses of my past Javier’s place was clean. Very clean. It’s a spartan place, but it has everything you need, and more. I was able to make coffee using my aeropress and even do a bit of laundry too. I’d say it’s great value, especially for Madrid. Javier was also an incredibly helpful host. Thank you Javier!
