I was extremely pleased with Raul's place. Above all, the location is great, right in the heart of old Madrid, very convenient to the Plaza Mayor, with LITERALLY the Rastro on your doorstep! Raul was always readily available, and checked in with me to make sure there were no problems. He had stocked the fridge with some very nice snacks - a very thoughtful touch. He was outside looking for me as I was approaching his place for check-in. I really can't say enough positive about Raul and his place. I will definitely try and book with him next time I travel to Madrid.
