Al’s studio apartment is absolutely fantastic! It is a light, bright and attractive space with all the amenities you need. The bed is very comfortable and the shower pressure is great! It’s a four floor walk up but it gets easier every time you do it! The location is just magic, right in the heart of Malasaña - surrounded by fantastic bars and restaurants but on a quiet little side street. I felt safe walking around at night on my own. Al’s communication is excellent and the little touches (like wine and breakfast provisions) are great. He’s a very warm and professional host. I would absolutely recommend people stay at Al’s and I hope to again.
