Raul's place met our expectations and fully matched the listing description. Susana was wonderful in helping us by making taxi bookings to and from the airport, allowing us an early check-in, meeting us in person to go over the apartment and providing us with local tips and recommendations. The taxi was able to drive up all the way to the apartment building even though it is situated on a pedestrian street. That made it easier for us with our baggage and stroller.
The apartment is very well appointed with a stove, oven, microwave, washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, nespresso, moka pot and toaster. It has a thermostat for both heating and A/C. The location of the apartment is the best one can have in Madrid where you are in the center of the city and a 5-20 minute walk to all local attractions without being on the very noisy streets like Gran Via where a number of hotels are situated. Multiple supermarkets are a 3-10 minute walk away. Mercado de San Miguel is only a 5 minute walk away.
The apartment is relatively quiet for being in a busy district and the 2nd bedroom was quiet enough for our baby to sleep. We were provided with a pack n play for the baby to sleep in which worked for our infant. The bathroom has a tub which made it easier for us to give our baby baths although we carried a travel baby bathtub for the trip.
We enjoyed our stay at Raul and Susana's apartment and would definitely book it again for another trip to Madrid.
