We love this apartment! Everything was great.
Raul is an excellent host. He does not speak English, but he arrived with a nice English speaking lady to show us round the flat; and he responds quickly via phone, email or Whatsapp etc.
The apartment is a great size, homely with good character decor. It is really well equipped. We loved the induction hob which is really fast! Raul also provides extras for cooking (eg oil and herbs); plus plenty of items for washing etc.
The apartment is in a great lively area, but was also very quiet for sleeping. There are some good cheap bars and little food shops nearby. We walked to all the main sites in Madrid from here - no need to use public transport.
I highly recommend this apartment - and don't miss the buzzing Rastro market outside on a Sunday.
