I enjoyed staying at Melvin's. The place was clean and communication was good. The neighborhood is pretty nice, malasaña is very lively and there's a lot of bars and restaurants around. Even though it's a very busy neighborhood, the place flat does not have any windows to the street so it's quite calm, and it's at the bottom floor, which makes it very cool during the hot summers. I did not meet Melvin, the check in was well organized but still the person that was supposed to give me the keys arrived 40 mins after the scheduled arrival time.
