Javier is a great host and his home is described accurately. He was right on top of the communication and always got back to me right away. He greeted me kindly when I arrived (even though I got there earlier than expected and earlier than the “allotted” check in time), gave me several city guides and maps, offered me a cold bottle of water, and talked about things to do in the area before giving me a tour of the flat. An odd situation arose during my stay, but let’s just say I needed some help due to my limited Spanish. Javier helped me through it, spoke slowly and patiently so I could understand, and was thoughtful. His house is spotlessly clean, close to markets and stores and bars, and a 2 minute walk to a metro stop. Staying with Javier won’t disappoint.
