Raul’s place is perfect and comfortable. Located in La Latina district. It is surrounded by local coffee shops and mercado. Although true to other reviews the area does get very noisy on the weekends but it’s to be expected of a place full of bars and cafe’s. The house is very homey and clean with a huge kitchen. Although the kitchen is complete with amenities you will need to purchase your own condiments like salt and pepper for cooking which can be bought at the Mercado or carre four. For those visiting the keys have a soft spot so learn to use it lightly not with force. Just loosely turn and you’ll be able to open the front door of the building. The place is a 10 minute walk to plaza mayor and 13 minutes to gran via. You can walk to Retiro park and also reach Madrid palace and Calle Serrano. Raul is a perfect host very responsive and helpful with all my inquiries. I look forward to staying at his place in my next trip to Madrid in the future. Thank you! 😊
