Raul was the perfect Airbnb host. He returned all messages promptly, was waiting for us on our arrival, had the place very fully furnished and spent a lot of time explaining everything in and out of the apartment. It is nicely situated in a very lively district. The streets around are full of very well attended bars which serve food. Not far from Lavapies metro and a 24 hr/day large supermarket. In general less than an hour's walk anywhere.
The apartment itself is spacious and well laid out. Nice, secure building.
There were three negatives. Madrid in summer is hot and the air conditioning had trouble keeping up. In particular the small bedroom was always hot.
There is no separate shower. The "telephone" shower is in a tub which is hard to get in and out of. It would be next to impossible for a person of limited mobility.
Finally, the wifi "provided" by Jazztel was on and off constantly. One day we had no more than 15 minutes service.
All in all a great apartment and host except for three negatives.
