Had a great trip to Madrid and enjoyed staying at Raul's apartment but there were some things to note . It was in a great location that allowed us to walk to the most popular places in the city. There were cafes, grocery stores and bars all near by. The apartment itself was just like the photos, it was beautifully decorated with a modern twist. The bathrooms were a great size and the layout of the apartment was great. A few things to mention, we had some trouble checking in with the buzzer at the front and we couldn't get in. Luckily we were able to have someone call Raul to fix the issue (was fixed asap). When we got to the front door of the apartment it was really difficult to unlock it. Make sure to turn it to the left VERY hard - I read on some previous reviews that other visitors had the same issue. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind. During our stay there was construction going on at the apartment below us so you couldn't sleep past 8:30 A.M. This was probably just our luck but it obviously it was very loud. Not the hosts fault but it guests should be aware at this time. Also, you might need to request some extra towels, we only had 2 for our whole stay so we had to wash them. Overall it was a great stay with just a few minor issues. Perfect location, safe, cozy house and responsive hosts.
