Rosa's place is perfectly located on a quiet street in Malasana, probably the most user friendly and vibrant area we found in Madrid. Like most Madrid apartments, it isn't huge, but it's perfect for a couple. Close to good metro lines, but everywhere central is within walking distance - we rarely had to use it. Rosa and her family are very considerate and amenable hosts, and there's some great restaurants and cafes in the streets around. Highly recommended!
