This is a wonderful little studio right in Masalaña. You can easily walk or take the metro to anything you might want to see in Madrid. Mariano and his friend Beth (who let us in because Mariano was traveling) were both very responsive and Mariano gave some great restaurant recommendations. There is a fully stocked kitchen including tea and coffee in case you want to eat at home. For groceries, there is a Carrefour Express a couple of blocks away and of course lots of small food shops all over. Do be aware that the bathroom is down a flight of stairs - this was not a problem for us but wanted to include in case you have some sort of mobility issue that would make that difficult.
