Great apartment, Raul was very helpful and gave us ideas and directions on where to go with kids in Madrid. The apartment was fully equipped and although we didn't cook, the kitchen was well enough stocked that we could have. It was very central and better than most hotels we have stayed in-particularly with children as we didn't have to read with a torch in the same room while our children slept! It could be noisy in the living room but we embraced the atmosphere with a glass of wine (while said children slept) and it was relatively quiet with the doors shut and air con on. Can't recommend this apartment highly enough and hope to return. Location was very central to metro stations and shops, bars, restaurants.
