I loved my stay at Alvaro's apartment. I felt like a local, and it was so comfortable to come home to for a siesta after a long day walking around. The apartment is a great size, very clean, quiet, nice shower, with a few little nice treats left from Alvaro. The location was perfect - in the trendy neighbourhood of Malasana with many great bars and nice vibes right outside the door. It was also a nice short stroll (20 mins) to all of the main sights. Alvaro was a great host and recommended bars, cafes and galleries that I should visit. It was nice to have a local's input! I'd definitely recommend this place.
