Antonio's apartment is 4 star hotel quality - excellently designed, well appointed, and conveniently located to a great area in the city.
Antonio took 15 minutes to greet us during check-in, explain the house to us, and carefully outline a map of the city that undoubtedly enhanced our 2-day experience in Madrid.
Malasaña was a bustling night life area on Saturday night, and other apartments that we've visited have been noisy either from upstairs neighbors, outside partiers, or both. Not this place. All the windows and doors seal the noise outside and provide the ability for a great night of sleep. While you are able to hear others within the apartment fairly easily, such as in the 2nd bedroom or walking up the stairs in the apartment building, shielding the street noise on busy nights was a complete surprise to me, and most appreciated. You cannot hear other apartment occupants once they've entered their apartment from the stairwell.
Everything from the shower to th beds to the decor and appliances had been expertly planned and you can tell upon entering that Antonio and his team take great care of their properties and their tenants.
I'm a picky guest, and would not hesitate to stay in one of Antonio's accommodations in the future.
