Our family of 6 stayed on the 1st floor apartment for 5 nights in April 2019.
First, about Javier, the owner. Super nice guy. Spoke good enough English to answer all our questions. Also great communication using WhatsApp. We arrived late in the evening but Javier was there to meet us and make us feel very much at home. He took a lot of time with a large map pointing out the local Metro station (right up the street) markets, and local restaurants.
The apartment is fantastic. The boys had their own room, as did my daughter, my mother-in-law, and my wife and I. Enough bathrooms to go around. Lots of space to relax. The kitchen was very nice. The toaster and the coffee maker did most of the work. Dishwasher was a definite plus.
As soon as Javier left, we started making mental notes on some groceries to pick up at the market. We opened the fridge and found brand new milk, orange juice, butter, some packets of jam, bottled water, and 4 beers. There was coffee and filters, bread, and packages of muffins and croissants. Great welcoming touch!
The street looks a bit sketchy with some graffiti, but the location is actually great. The apartment had lots of balconies to hang out and relax. The metro stop is up the street, and a great burger joint (Skyline Diner) is literally steps away. Lots of things in walking distance and the Metro makes everything close.
There was some street noise in the early morning hours and trash and bottle collection promptly at 2AM every morning. But, when you live like a native, embrace it!
All of the appliances were top notch. We really appreciated the washer and dryer! All manuals for the appliances were handy, and I needed a quick review for the washing machine, but all things were explained satisfactorily.
On our second day, Javier notified us of a possible problem with the heating system, which we had not used. He was very apologetic and had the problem (which we didn't even know about) fixed promptly the next day. Javier also left a new bag of coffee...!
If you're considering a stay here... do it!
