This charming and comfortable apartment has a wonderful location about two blocks from the Tribunal Metro station, and a pleasant 20 min walk from Puerta del Sol. The immediate neighborhood of Malasana is bustling, safe, and has many interesting shops and places to eat. Despite the vibrant street scene passing by the building's front door, the apartment is wonderfully quiet, on the second floor and with all windows facing an interior courtyard. Despite modest ventilation into the apartment via a few windows on the courtyard the apartment remained very comfortable without air conditioning during some very pleasant June days when Madrid temperatures ranged from 10-30 degrees. The apartment includes two fans, and seemed to have adequate air conditioning though I never had the need to use it. The apartment also has a clothes washer that worked well, and easy access to a clothes line and pins outside;, and on a low-humidity day my wash had dried within 12 hours. The apartment was clean and exactly as pictured, and had a well-equipped but small kitchen with a well functioning refrigerator and microwave. The bathroom ,is modern with a nice, clean shower and good hot water supply. However the bathroom is small, and requires a maneuver to open or close the door with you inside, and the door to the bathroom must be at least mostly closed to use the toilet. The apartment is fairly spacious for one person, reasonably spacious for two, but might seem small for three or more. Communication with the owner was excellent.
