We were welcomed by Rafa with the kind gesture of offering to assist with our parking ticket and luggage. Communication was a bliss and detailed. He met us with a warm and friendly greeting and showed us around his home. Rafa kindly left us beverages and a bowl of fruit, which was greatly appreciated by all of us. He made sure to answer all of our questions and even went the extra mile to locate a local restaurant, who's name I had forgotten and could only describe it by a photo. The apartment is more cosy than the pictures allow and very easily accessible to all of Madrid's main attractions. I would definitely recommend staying in Rafa's home. He truly is a great host. Thanks again for a lovely stay, and hope to keep in contact. Rgs, Candice
