Raquel was a fabulous host!
From the moment I booked her apartment, she was quick to respond to my questions. She was flexible with my check-in time, even allowing me to check-in early. She was also incredibly patient: my flight to Madrid kept getting delayed, and she told me it was no problem and that she would wait for me.
The apartment building itself is centrally located. It's no more than a 10 minute walk to the Puerta del Sol, one of the main public squares. There are plenty of restaurant and bar options on the same block as the apartment building, so you don't have to venture far if you want a quick bite/drink.
The photos that are posted on the AIRBNB listing don't do the apartment justice. The space is *much* larger than I thought it was going to be. The apartment is clean. Raquel also provided all the basic amenities (including shampoo and bath soap), so I didn't have to bring my own.
You do have to walk up two short flights of stairs to get from the street level to the apartment. But if you have no major physical issues, you'll be perfectly fine getting up and down.
I highly recommend that you book this listing!
