We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Casa Moratin. We were a group of ten people ranging in age from 80 years old to teens. From the moment I booked the property Javier was responsive and provided tons of great information for our arrival. We had tons of space and the location truly can't be beat. You can walk everywhere! There are tons of great restaurants all around the neighborhood and an excellent grocery store a few blocks away. We will definitely book this property again on a future trip to Madrid!

We enjoyed our stay in the home. Javier was extremely accommodating. The location was lovely and within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. The neighborhood was a little loud at night (a restaurant and a party) and there was some construction but we managed. There is no air conditioning but ceiling fans and a couple of oscillating fans helped. Kitchen was well appointed and Javier went above and beyond even providing a few items for us. This rental is great.

Javier was an excellent host. The property was in a fantastic location (3 minute walk to el Prado and close to so much more), large enough to spread out in and very well appointed. Javier was extremely responsive and easy to work with. No AC but fans throughout so we were comfortable in 90 degree weather. We would highly recommend this VRBO to others.

We loved our time at this rental. It was even bigger than we expected and gave our family of 5 plenty of room to spread out and relax. Javier was an an incredible host! He welcomed us with an early check in, explained everything and even left us breakfast foods, coffee and many supplies. The kitchen and laundry machines within the apartment were great too! The street was convenient to many sights and the area felt very safe. Muchas gracias to our host for a wonderful stay!

The apartment is well stocked, clean and in a great location. We are a family of 6 adults and had plenty of space. Javier was very helpful, he helped arrange transport back to the airport and reservations for a restaurant that needed a local number. Well worth it for the location, access to museums within a 5-10 min walk and large living areas. The street at night can get a bit loud if you leave the windows wide open, but it wasn’t a huge issue. Overall we would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

We really enjoyed staying at this property! Javier was an excellent host, and gave a great intro to things at the apartment, and overview of the neighborhood. (Grocery store, Coffee shop, and Bicycle rental very close by) The location in Madrid is fabulous - just a short walk to Retiro Park, Plaza Major, Palacio Real, etc. We had plenty of room for our group of 7 (kids/teen, adults, grandparents). The dining room/kitchen was well suited for family dinners. There was mild street noise, but nothing significant. The apartment was very secure as well. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it to others!

Our stay in Madrid was enhanced by staying here. It was so convenient. Javier our host met us, helped us find parking, and made sure everything was ok from the beginning. Everything we wanted to visit was within walking distance. We would definitely stay here when visiting Madrid in the future.

Javier was a communicative and helpful host through the process. The apartment was in a great location in the city. We did not have any problems getting taxis, ubers etc. if we were not up to walking or doing the metro. It was ideal for our family of six with plenty of space. Would stay there again if revisting Madrid.

The apartment is perfectly located, just minutes away from the Atocha train station, the Prado, Botanical Gardens, other museums. Close to excellent tapas bars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Duplex très bien situé au cœur de la ville : nous avons visité tout Madrid à pied. L'appartement est très propre, très bien entretenu et très bien équipé. Accueil chaleureux et plein de bons conseils. Merci encore Javier ! Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour en famille, en grande partie grâce à notre logement ! Si nous revenons à Madrid, nous reprendrons cette location sans hésitation.

The apartment and location are excellent. We enjoyed our time there and had a wonderful visit with our extended. The neighborhood is excellent. It has lots of great bars, restaurants, and shops very near by. Javier is a great host. He accommodated an early arrive and late departure. He did an excellent job with communication.

Very nice large apartment with up-to-date appliances, fixtures, furnishings and styling. Good security - 3 different keys used to access apartment. Dinnerware, cooking ware, utensils provided, selection of cooking oils and spices. Owner provisioned pantry with bread, muffins, crackers and fridge with orange juice, milk, butter, jam and six-pack. Nice! It's also non-smoking. Owner is quite helpful and accommodating; he arranged to come over early (10:15 am) to store our luggage and then move those into apartment when vacated. Allowed us to come back while cleaning still in progress to freshen up in early afternoon. He also brought a forgotten item to us at an uptown hotel after we checked out. Very nice guy! The only potential concern might be for guests with limited mobility due to stairs up to first level entry/living area and second level bedrooms. I definitely recommend this property to all other nonsmokers.

We were a group of five 50-somethings who stayed for several nights in this apartment. Javier was super easy to work with, and he promptly fixed a minor issue we had with the sink. The apartment is clean and spacious. Location is terrific - close to the heart of the city. A little bit of street noise heard from some of the bedrooms, but not too bad. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen is well-equipped (although we didn't make any large meals there). Would highly recommend this rental!!

The neighborhood is amazing, and the apartment is large and well appointed. Javier provides us with all of the basics for our stay and was very responsive to our every need. Loved it.

A comfortable and we'll equipped apartment within blocks of the major attractions such as the Prado, Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace. Many shops, restaurants and bars within 3 minutes walk. Javier was very helpful before and during our stay. We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful, clean apartment. Javier is wonderful and helpful with any needs. The apartment has more than enough space to enjoy family time or find a quiet place to relax.

We enjoyed from all the facilities in the apparent

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!

L'appartement occupé en famille (11 pers.) est grand, lumineux, propre et fonctionnel, complété à notre demande, par la fourniture d'équipements pour bébé. A notre arrivée, des petites attentions nous attendaient à l'appartement (petit déj, boissons…), c'est appréciable. Très bien situé pour une visite de la ville et des musées, à pieds. Merci à Javier pour son accueil et son énergie pour satisfaire nos besoins.

superbe appartement, il ne manque rien et très propre. très bien situé pour visiter.En plus dans le frigo il y a de l'eau de la bière, du lait et de quoi faire un petit déjeuner. Xavier est à notre écoute et nous donne les renseignements nécessaire pour passer un bon séjour.

The Host: Javier is very responsive, accommodating, helpful, and kind. He is exactly the sort of person you want on the other end of a family trip when you don’t speak the language. He provided valuable information to help us plan prior to our arrival, and supported us while in Spain by answering questions and arranging for our early morning taxis. We communicated easily with Javier by using WhatsApp + Google Translate. Javier was also flexible, by allowing us to check in several hours early. The Place: The apartment is very modern and clean and fits 10-12 comfortably. We had 10 (6 adults, 4 kids), and there was plenty of space. The kitchen is large and well stocked and appointed. Javier even provided $40+ Euros of complimentary groceries to get us started. The living area is beautiful. The entire house is also heated. In short, it felt like home. The TV has Netflix and you can change the language on the digital channels so kids can watch cartoons, which helps them unwind after a long day of walking. With the exception of one downstairs sleeper couch which we did not use, all of the bedrooms were located upstairs and had proper beds. We were able to hang out or watch tv at night while the kids were asleep. Two of the four upstairs rooms are street side and can be noisy. Madrid is lively! The other two rooms are very quiet and perfect for children and light sleepers. The location was also excellent, with a short walk to restaurants, museums, metro, SIM shop, and Atocha train station (<10 mins). Exploring the entire city was very easy from this location. Getting There I recommend just taking taxis from the airport for a flat rate of 30 Euro. Make sure to stop at the taxi desk inside the terminal for official taxis. They were helpful and called for one large van for 40 Euro which saved us some money; apparently there aren’t many large vans in Madrid. Sim Cards: The Madrid airport has free WiFi so you don’t need a SIM card right away as long as the person you need to reach has some sort of messenger account (e.g WhatsApp), which most do. You can then buy Sim cards much cheaper when you get into town. We paid 15 Euros for a SIM card at a shop just around the corner from Javier’s apartment.

Siamo stati a casa Moratin a gennaio 2019 e abbiamo goduto di una bellissima casa spaziosa e confortevole e molto pulita. La posizione è ottimale per raggiungere le vie centrali e il parco dei musei. I proprietari sono persone molto gentili e disponibili. La raccomando fortemente.

This apartment is large, clean, modern, well located near Parque del Retiro and Museo del Prado. The owner is well organized, polite, helpful. It has been a pleasure to stay in this flat for 5 nights with my family of 9 people. I highly recommend this apartment where you can find anything you need by the time you arrive : water fruit juice wine in the fridge, all kitchen tools you need, garbage bags, in fact just everything you have in your house. There is also a very useful laundry with washing machine and dryer, and everything is provided so you do not have to buy it ! Everyone in my family has loved this apartment (even if you have to walk up one flight of stairs - my parents are 80 and they did not complain once) So do not hesitate to rent to Javier, the owner, who is a trustworthy, responsible housing provider.

Casa Moratìn is an spacious apartment with all amenities, unbeatable location to visit the most important points of the city. Practically you can walk from there all the museums and places of interest. Our only comment is that it is a bit noisy at night and there is no elevator to go up to the first floor where it is located which makes it a bit uncomfortable for older people. Besides that is an excellent place.

Our family with three daughters (21, 16, 16) stayed in this lovely apartment for 5 days and walked to many of the great attractions in Madrid (Parque del Beun Retiro, Prado Museum, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Reina Sofia Museum) and took a taxi to the very nice zoo. The apartment was very well equipped and had plenty of bathroom space for the girls. Javier was a great host who welcomed us warmly, gave us many good suggestions on where to shop, where to eat and what to do in Madrid. He even came to meet us and help us with our departure. The apartment is situated on a small street with many nearby restaurants and grocery stores. The kitchen was very well equipped and Javier had left it stocked with all the essentials, as well as, two bottles of wine, orange juice, milk and cereal, so we didn't immediately have to go to the store when we arrived. We all very much enjoyed our stay in Madrid and would highly recommend this apartment to our friends!

We are a group of four friends who stayed at the property for three nights over a long weekend in June 2018. All round, the apartment was an excellent choice. It is spacious, clean, very well furnished and in a great location, within walking distance to everything that we wanted to visit. There are numerous restaurants, bars and shops in the immediate vicinity, and the central area is a 10 minute walk away. Javier made things very easy for us. Communication before and during our stay was always prompt and helpful; and he was on hand to assist whenever required. Some additional extras thrown in - toiletries, soft drinks and beer - were a very nice touch, and much appreciated. In short, we would highly recommend this property.

The apartment was absolutely perfect in every way. Modern, clean, spacious - and in a very central location. We could not have wished for a better place, and would certainly return - hopefully soon! best wishes 4 colleagues from London: Julie, Catriona, Mary and Damian

The property was amazing for our group of 7 adults. We were very impressed with the space and room that was available to us. It was very clean and Javier was incredibly helpful throughout the entire stay. The location of the apartment was very convenient and central to everything we wanted to see.

Spacious updated apartment in a wonderful neighborhood. Bustling shops and restaurants line this picturesque street give you an old world feel with plenty to do with in walking distance. Would certainly recommend this lovely rental to any one wanting to visit the beautiful city.
