The apartment was fantastic! So well equipped and beautifully decorated, very artsy! Maria met us and showed us around and gave us some recommendations. The outdoor courtyard is spectacular and is on the ground floor backyard of a multi story building. He location is great, it’s on a quiet street but is about a block from two very active boulevards filled with restaurants, stores and pedestrians. The neighborhood, Malasana is fun fun fun, and an easy walk to everything. Don’t hesitate to use Ubers and taxis, they are safe and amazingly cheap!. Madrid is now my favorite European city!
