I stayed at Roye's place for around 1.5 months and had a great time. Almost everything is within a 5 minute walk, including a grocery store, numerous restuarants, the main street (Gran Via), a bank, 2 subway lines, fast food places, laundromat, a pharmacy, etc. Malasana is a trendy and super safe neighborhood. I walked around all hours of the night alone and didn't have any issues. The apartment itself is clean, and has a good amount of natural light thanks to the patio area right next to the apartment (used by people to hang their clothes out to dry. While I was there, I had no issues whatsover with the internet (fiber) , which was very important, as I was working remotely. The air conditioners work perfectly and got the apartment to the perfect temperature, which is important because in july and august, madrid is an inferno. The only issues I had with the apartment are that the bathroom is very small, small enough that there isn't even a toilet paper holder or anywhere to hang a towel. I think for short stays, Roye's apartment is wonderful, but for long stays like mine, I'd suggest a larger place.
