This apartment was ideal for my 10-day trip to Madrid. It is super well located in the Malasaña area, walking distance to about any hot spot downtown, with lots of nice bars and food stores around. The area is very lively, with mostly locals (not too many tourists). Yet, once in the apartment, it is absolute quietness. The apt is organized around a little patio yet full with light, very nicely furnished, and with all equipment one may need. Raul was a very nice and careful host, very easy to reach, providing useful information on the area and making sure that everything was going well during my stay. Overall, I loved being there in Madrid, and intend to go back. When I do, I will not even look for another place to stay, and just hope Raul’s apartment will be available at that time.
