This apartment is absolutely as beautiful as the pictures lead you to believe. Check-in was very easy with perfect instructions. We absolutely loved Malasana and the apartment is in the best location. You can easily walk to some amazing places for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as plenty of bars and shopping. It is definitely lively and fun area and on Saturdays there is noise from the bar across the street (which is very fun and has awesome drinks). If you want 100% quiet while sleeping then it might be difficult for you. The showers are a dream and I really cannot recommend this apartment more highly.
