The apartment is ideally located for the cafés, shops, bars, cultural venues and nightlife of Malasaña (didn’t participate in the nightlife because of children but could see evidence of this).
Fedral, a lovely café serving great brunch, is on the edge of the adjacent square. A very short stroll further is The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo.
We walked everywhere, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía takes about 40 minutes and is highly recommended (20th century works including Picasso’s Guernica).
The apartment is clean, modern and comfortable. It’s street level, it feels like it was once a shop or
Industrial unit, with a front door that opens directly onto the pavement of a quiet street. There’s a double bed in the double height space ground floor with a further two single beds in the basement, this is accessed via an open stair with glass balustrade. The bathroom and kitchen are located in and around a brick box in the middle of the ground floor space.
There’s lots of glazing, the apartment is very light, but there are no views as the windows are opaque for privacy.
I highly recommend, the apartment is clean, comfortable and an ideal base from which to explore the city.
