Before we arrived Rafael made sure we knew how to get to the apartment. Our flight was delayed, and therefore arrived after midnight, but this was not a problem for Rafael. He was very flexible.
When we arrived at the apartment Rafael was waiting outside. He was very kind and gave us the most important information about the apartment. The apartment was similar to Rafael's description and pictures. It was very nice and clean.
The area was very nice and cozy. There was a local supermarket nearby which we made use of many times during our stay.
We were very happy with the apartment's placement - the metro took us to the centre of Madrid in no time and the apartment was very close to the metro station.
Overall we had a great vacation while staying in Rafael's apartment and would definitely do it again and recommend him to others as a host.
