We loved Madrid and the apartment was perfect for my friend and I. We stayed for a weekend, arriving late on Friday and Rafael was great at coming over to meet up. He gave us a host of suggestions of places to eat, drink and visit.
We found it really great value of money, with the two rooms and a balcony. Rafael was very kind to leave us some supplies in the fridge including a few carona, - coffee and tea was all available too. The apartment had everything we needed - small hairdryer, iron, extra bedding.
The location was great for us and we only had to walk a few short blocks before finding amazing tapa bars. Be prepared to stay out late and enjoy the alfresco dining.
