I stayed for one month in this awesome place, just in the middle of Madrid. I think I could not get a better location for a long stay with the ambition to "live like a local". La Latina quarter in the south was just some minutes walk from here, as well as similar cool neighbourhoods Malasaña and Chueca were close enough to have a nice walk there and back via Sol and noble Gran Via. Going running and exercising in Retiro park was also some ten minutes run from this place and Las Letras quarter was just here for some great tapas bars and cool local "vermut de grifo" cervecerias:*). Raul (and Susana) were really easy to communicate with, always reacting quickly and friendly. The home had spectacularly high ceilings, there were lots of space for me and my friends who visited me here during that month. We all had our own space and nice/spacious living room area to spend time together. Nice french balconies faced a beautiful Santa Cruz church (a lot of action each Wednesday!) and even though you could hear some city voices during the night, we actually all slept very well in this apartment. Definitely would recommend this place to my friends! Muchas gracias, Raul!
