My stay in Rafael's apartment was magnificent, the room in reality is much more cozy and sun-filled than it may look on the photos. Moderately soft matress on the bed provides a great comfort and relaxing sleep, no loud noises from the street can be heard. The metro and bus stations are situated very close to the house, it takes not more than 35 min to reach any destination in the city center. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood, moreover, Alcampo (Auchan) and Mercadona are only a 10-minute walk away from the house, Domino's pizza is right across the road. Rafael is very guestfull and helpful host as well as his charming wife, they are always ready to chat and support you. In the kitchen, I could find everything necessary for cooking. The bathroom is spacious and lighted enough to feel comfortable in it. I stayed 12 days in Rafael's appartment and I am very grateful to his family for the wonderful time I spent in Madrid. If I need to come back to this beautiful city again I will not hesitate to ask Rafael once more to book a room in his residence.
