Raul has a beautiful, upscale apartment about ten minutes from the Madrid Airport. It was well appointed with everything we needed during our stay. The metro stop to downtown Madrid was an easy walk away. The area is somewhat industrial so there are no restaurants or mini marts very close, but we had breakfast at the metro/train station and ate in center Madrid. There are all the necessary kitchen appliances you might need to cook in. And after several stays in other places in Spain without air conditioning, the cool temperatures in hot Madrid were greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Raul's place!
