We will definitely consider staying at Rafa's place again the next time we are in Madrid. Excellent location. Fabulous food at San Miguel market (which Rafa very kindly recommended to us). Walking distance to everything that you need to see and do in Madrid. Otherwise, the metro stop is not too far away in any case and will easily take u to other sights. Supermarket is right around the corner. The booking and the check-in process was very smooth and painless. Rafa was extremely helpful with our luggage (which was not light!) The room was clean, as described, modern and spacious for 2 persons. Balcony overlooks an old church. Apartment is on a quiet (but safe) and peaceful street and a skip away from the lively main street. Rafa is an incredible host who always kept in touch with us (but was never intrusive), made us feel welcomed and ever ready to share tips with us on Madrid.
