Raquel's place is in about the best location in Madrid that you can get! It's easy to walk to public transportation and/or to walk to some of the touristy locations (Royal Palace, Mayor Plaza, etc.). There was a language barrier that I wasn't expecting, but so long as we were using a translator (Google, etc.), it was fine. The place was spotless and welcoming. The rain shower head was such a nice surprise. She was quick to respond, too! I would definitely recommend staying there!
