The location of Raul's apartment couldn't be better. On Sunday morning, you literally walk out the door and into the El Rastro market which is in full swing. And yet, the apartment is very quiet, which was a surprise because of the perfect location. You can easily walk to Plaza Mayor, the Prado and the Palace in 15-25 minutes. Raul was just a text away and responded promptly every time. He was a gracious host, meeting us outside the apartment when we arrived and walking us to the Metro at 5:45 in the morning with our suitcases in hand. The price is very fair for the small apartment.
