There were a lot of very positive reviews for this property and for the host Javier, and each one of them was completely deserved.
What a wonderful apartment in the heart of Madrid (you really couldn’t find a better location!!).
Firstly the apartment - which met and exceeded our expectations. High end appliances (very high end!!), silent air conditioning, satellite tv channels with English option, washing machine, lots of space and beautifully appointed. It was our oasis every day after walking through the hot, vibrant city.
The host - there is a reason Javier is considered a “superhost”. He could not be more helpful, friendly or passionate about your happiness. He is a genuinely nice person and goes out of his way to help you have your best experience in Madrid. He booked dinner at a “favourite” restaurant for us (which was wonderful), checked up on us every day and at the end of our week even arranged to store our luggage so that we could enjoy an extra, full day exploring without any worries (then carrying our luggage back and meeting us outside the apartment). You are a true gentleman Javier!!
Location - as local friends of ours told us when they met us at the apartment “you could not be more in the Centre of the city if you tried”. If you enjoy walking to explore you will not be disappointed, and the metro is 5 minutes away if you prefer not to walk too much. Theatres, historical buildings, shops and SO MANY restaurants to choose from. Javier will suggest the best ones. Also a few small supermarkets not too far away. Totally safe and we never felt any risk for our security.
I could not make a stronger recommendation for Javier or this property - we loved it and would go back in a heartbeat......squeaky floor and all! :-)
