Javier's apartment was even lovelier than I had expected and was a perfect space for my family of four. It was spotless and free of clutter, and the linens were cozy like in a nice hotel. We appreciated being in a less-touristy part of the neighborhood while still having a plethora of dining options within a two-block radius of the apartment. (We enjoyed fantastic home-style take-out meals from nearby La Antigua in the well-equipped kitchen.) Javier is an impeccable host—it was our privilege to be able to tour around the neighborhood with such a well-established local. His personally guided day trips look fantastic, if you have the time. Highly recommended, overall!
