The apartment is exactly as described by the host, very neat and tidy. It was very close to the main sites like cathedral and alcazar... 10 min walk to plaza espana. We were unfortunate that there was some construction going on at both ends of the street where the apartment was located so we usually got up in the morning with hammering noises but that could happen to anyplace at any time. The place around the apartment has a great vibe with a lot of restaurants near by. We were unable to meet Javier as he was out of town but his friend Antonio gave us good suggestions on places to visit and to eat. In the night, the street outside the cathedral is lit up and you can just enjoy your walk around the cathedral and the alcazar. It was indeed very beautiful. I would really recommend this apartment.
