Raul made me feel very welcome and was very helpful in giving me advice on how to get to his apartment. I checked in very late in the evening and Raul was kind enough to stay up and accommodate for that. Raul was kind enough to provide lots of maps and information as to how best to get around Madrid. The apartment is nice and your room is exactly how you see it - although if you are staying during summer it can get quite hot. The location is just outside the centre of Madrid and so getting to the centre is quite accessible.
