Raúl was such a great host! He had helped me with my suitcase up the flights of stairs. Once we got to the flat, he was kind enough to highlight areas of interest in Madrid, both touristy and areas a graphic designer would like on a map. The flat was really great, clean, modern, and had everything you'd need (save for a bottle/wine opener). The location is PERFECT!!! So many things to do and eat just around the corner and then 20 mins away is pretty much everything you'd need or want to explore. It's a quick walk to the metro that'll take you anywhere you need too. Communicating with Raúl was great too, he replied to my texts quickly and even checked in to see how I was getting on, which was really kind of him. Every one mentions the shower, which was great. It's really safe here, too! Super great experience, you will love this place!!!
