Raul was a great host, was waiting for us at the apartment and assisted us up the stairs. Provided a good map and dining suggestions. The location of this apartment is a strong attraction. Close to Tribunal metro it gives direct access to both of Madrid's major railway stations [Chamartin and Atocha]. Walking distance to the city but also close to metro [lines 1 and 10]. Diverse suburb on the edge of the tourist zone, very safe. Though on the fourth floor [no lift] this provides security and silence. Apartment was as advertised, clean, very fast WiFi, and adequate facilities. Hot water for the apartment is variable though never cold. Ideal for an active couple.
