Claudia's place is very stylish, well kept and clean. It was a pleasure to stay in the heart of such a busy and vibrant neighbourhood. It was very easy to get to the airport and train stations from there. The metro is right around the corner. Her room is incredibly clean, you get a private balcony and the bed is very comfortable. It had plenty of space to work, organize things and keep your suitcases. She left out lovely amenities for me, a list of Spanish phrases, lots of maps and gave me a lowdown on where to go. The area of Malasana/Chueca is good for nightlife, outdoor dining and lots of little cool restaurants and bars. It is definitely noisy at night so bring ear plugs. If you're a light sleeper, this isn't for you. It is also a very safe area with people on the streets all day and night. So you never feel unsafe getting home. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
