Gilad was an excellent host. I stayed in the flat for two months. It is a beautiful apartment and the street was not very noisy even though Malasana is filled with nightlife and restaurants. Everything was perfect. (Even on the one day when nearby construction caused the water to be turned off unexpectedly, I arrived home to find money and a bottle of wine waiting for me as an apology for the inconvenience. He's that considerate.) The location of the apartment is excellent. Everything you could want - food, drinks, metro, gyms, grocery stores - are all within 5 minutes walk. The price is very reasonable. It's a great value and I would definitely stay again.
