Daniel’s place was amazingly located in the dreamy and youthful neighborhood of Malasaña, which is home to some of the best brunch places and clubs in the entire city. It was just a 15 to 20 minute walk away from anything you might want to see in Madrid. Despite there being lots to do in even just this neighborhood, it was very quiet and tranquil in the night.
Marlon was the one who met me at check in and kindly let me drop off my bags (as I was early) and lounge in the living room. He was extremely friendly and let me know all the rules for the house speedily and efficiently.
The room was clean and I found that, despite the heatwave, the room was cool in the night, and I slept very soundly each night. Marlon even provided a fan for my comfort which I very much appreciated.
My only regret is not staying longer! Gracias a los dos, Daniel y Marlon!
