Raquel’s apartment is very cute! The location can’t be better if you want to be in middle of the action- it’s one of my favorite neighborhoods (I lived in Madrid for 8 years). Raquel met us at the apartment and left out some toys for our 2 and 5 year old, and was very welcoming. She also gave us strawberries, little cakes and juice- which was very thoughtful! Her apartment is extremely clean and cozy! It’s also very quiet and has great rooftop views (although no black out shades for bright morning sun- just FYI if you need it for baby/jetlag sleeping, etc)
She’s also great to point out places of interest if you’re not familiar with Madrid. Really great experience and would highly recommend!!
