Excellent stay in Malasana. First time in Madrid and I definitely prefer this area to the more touristy and crowded areas by el Prado and Plaza Mayor. After a busy day around town it was nice to return ‘home’ and relax. Unit is clean and quiet and has a lovely balcony. Bonus: very close to the Museo de Historia de Madrid which has an excellent exhibit. (The gyro place around the corner makes tasty wraps! And the nearby Mercado de San Ildefonso also has great street food!)
