As a first time user of air B and B we were thrilled with our accommodations in Madrid. The location was fabulous in the Malasana neighborhood. It was way more authentic then staying in city center. The pictures were beautiful when we booked it and so we were thrilled to walk into this gorgeously decorated and immaculate flat . The bed was so very comfortable. Outside plazas , bars, restaurants and quaint shops all so very close . We walked everywhere . Plus the metro is so close . You can pick up taxis too easily . Only thing that might have been better was to have an elevator as there were quite a few steps to get to the third floor flat . But we considered it more exercise . Also there are bars on the street so you can hear noise late at night.But we had the air conditioner running many nights which drowned it out .
All in all it was a superb rental . We would book again and highly recommend!
