This was our first visit to Madrid and in many ways it exceeded our expectations. The city itself is wonderful of course, but the apartment made our stay really special. We had read the reviews carefully and could see that previous guests had many positive things to say - we agreed with all of them. The location of the apartment is absolutely perfect - we could walk with ease to many of the major attractions in 10 or 15 minutes and there are Metro stations nearby for longer trips. We also used the bus service for a day trip to Segovia and the Renfe train service for a day trip to Toledo -
both modes of transport were superb and the destinations were beautiful and fascinating. There are many lovely places to eat near the apartment and a handy supermarket on the corner. We loved the flexibility and privacy staying in an apartment gave us and also the feeling of being in a real Spanish home. It was extremely clean, comfortable and well-equipped and we felt safe and secure. Raul was an outstanding host from start to finish. He was highly responsive to emails and WhatsApp messages and able to offer helpful advice informed by excellent local knowledge. He arranged taxis for our transport from and to the airport, which made arriving and leaving very straightforward. We would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment to other guests and heartily endorse previous positive comments about Raul as a host.
