This apartment is fabulous! Raul is an ideal host -- very responsive and offered great tips on local area and restaurants. We enjoyed his suggestion for a tapas menu at Vi Cool (5 min. walk). We were visiting between Christmas and New Years so Madrid was teeming with visitors. The central location was ideal because it allowed us to siesta in the afternoon -- before we went out again. The unit it is off the street, so it was very quiet. Raul provides everything you need a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!
