We stayed in Javiers apartment for two weeks and enjoyed it very much! Javier met us on arrival and was very helpful and accomodating, letting me drop my bags off a little early. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and I slept on the fold out couch for two weeks and was very comfortable. The kitchen is a little bit small, so that should be a consideration for anybody who wants to cook large meals, but the food is so good in the restaurants nearby so you shouldn't be cooking! I know Madrid very well having lived here for a year, and this area is one of my favourite locations. Very close to La Latina station, and a lively buzzing area on weekends, but not too loud on weekdays. Highly recommended!
