We had a relaxing stay in Madrid, and Raul’s flat made the visit all the more enjoyable.
The apartment itself is spacious, clean and tidy, and the air conditioning was a blessing in the heat of a Spanish summer. There is also an outside terrace with great views across the rooftops of Madrid. It’s a nice place to have breakfast in the morning, or to enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down.
The apartment is a good base for exploring the city, with the Atocha train and metro stations nearby in one direction, and the Lavapies metro station just five minutes walk away in the other.
The city centre of Madrid is about 20 minutes walk from Lavapies station, or about 5 minutes by metro.
The apartment is in Calle Argumosa, which is busy at all hours of the day, although the noise of the street didn’t disturb us in the apartment. The surrounding area is lively and safe, with many different nationalities living as neighbours in what appears to be a friendly community. There are a good number of restaurants, bars and small shops, as well as a 24-hour supermarket outside Lavapies metro station.
We would have no hesitation in staying here again, and happily recommend it, whether you are returning to Madrid, or visiting for the first time.
