What an AWESOME stay this was! I came to Madrid and stayed at Ignacio’s place for one week while working remotely and it was seriously one of the best AirBnB experiences I’ve had. Ignacio and his wife were so flexible (even when I missed my flight and had to change my check in time). They live downstairs so they’re always available and their responses to any requests were always SUPER fast and kind.
First, the location is perfect - in the best barrio of Madrid, a 2 minute walk to the metro and around the corner from Cafe Comercial and a million incredible restaurants and cafes.
Everything was pristinely clean and felt brand new, the kitchen was very well equipped, with a toaster-microwave-coffee maker, and there was plenty of storage space for my belongings. The bedroom is interior facing to a patio but absolutely silent at night, air conditioning works great (note, this is only in the bedroom but kept the rest of the apartment pretty cool). The shower water pressure was so good too.
The two giant windows to the street gave the living room a gorgeous amount of light but double paned windows meant it was silent with no noise from the street even in the evenings (Malasaña is not known for being a quiet neighborhood but I had zero issues).
My only regret is that I didn’t book it for the next week I’ll be in Madrid at the end of the month - this apartment is so fantastic for 1-2 people and I look forward to coming back and staying here again! Thank you!!
