What can I say about this apartment. WOW. If you're looking for a central, large and comfortable apartment (with an attentive host) to stay in, look no further. After nearly 3 weeks in Europe, bouncing between hotels and Airbnbs, Raul's was by far the BEST we stayed in. Where should I start? It is local, and cultural. We felt as if we were living in Spain while staying here. It was secure and quiet (past midnight), you have to go through 2 gates and 2 flights of stairs to get to the place. It is managed by a wonderfully informative and passionate host. He has binders, guides, photos, and offers his own number to make sure you are eating, discovering and exploring the best of Madrid. Which we took advantage of, and got a response typically within 30 minutes. It is COMFORTALBE! In London we paid 50-60 euro and got a hotel with a bed, and that's about it. Here you have room to relax, sleep, and have some separation from your travel partner. Lets be real, we all need that sometimes. The bed was awesome, bathroom was huge (comparative to the other cities we stayed in), theres a washing machine and kitchen, which if we had stayed here more in the middle of our trip we would have 100% taken advantage of.
Bottom line, we would stay here over a hotel any day.
And what we loved even more, is Raul met us at 5am when we left and gave us a beautiful departing gift. Our trip really couldn't have ended better.
BOOK THIS, book it now. You will not regret it!
