Raul’s place was great.
The location is ideal if you want to see the old Madrid.
There’s a beautiful church and square right across the street and you’re in the center of it all. You walk everywhere, no need for a car. Many of the museums are relatively close (Prado is amazing), Plaza Mayor, and all the gardens and squares in the center city. Amazing architecture.
The restaurants in the area were also fantastic.
Subway is nearby and it was easy to get to the train station on our way to another town. Taxi ride from the airport on our way in was $30 euros.
Secure and fantastic.
