This house is probably the best location to stay in Madrid - right next to everything cool in Malasana but also really easy to get to Madrid's major sites by foot or metro. The room is simple and has enough room for bags, the doors and the balcony are nice for a breeze. In July it was fine with doors open and the fan. The Bathroom is a pretty old but it's clean. The street itself has a few cool bars and cafes one minute away. We went to Chillin' Cafe everyday (Vegan) which was nice and El Ideal does great meatballs. Hanso Cafe around 10 mins away did the best coffee we found in Madrid (from an Australian perspective) Check in was easy, as was check out (we could leave our bags in the house after check out for a while) The hosts are very casual and we didn't see them much. Hassle free. The street was pretty quiet during the weekdays but very loud on the Friday night when we were there. It is more like a hostel than local home as others have said. But plenty of privacy. Inside the house itself was very quiet. Overall I recommend this place if you want somewhere chilled, cheap and in an excellent location.
