Raúl was an excellent host. He was waiting for us upon arrival and showed us his apartment. He explained in full detail what was in the house for us to use and how to use it. He also recommended several places around his home to eat which were amazing. He checked on us a few days after our arrival to see if we were okay and if we needed anything...That was a real nice touch. The apartment itself was very roomy for European standards! Very well decorated and the view from the Kitchen and specially the terrace was lovely. It is walking distance from all the hot spots in central Madrid, 5 minute walk to the Atocha train/metro station so you can have quick access to points outside Madrid. Even though this unit is very close to all kinds of activity, it is in a clean, safe, and quiet area. We had no problems
At night, no noise whatsoever. We also walked the streets very late at night and always felt safe. The elevators in the building were a plus, the building entrance is also secured with a doorman. I highly recommend this unit for small families
And groups.
