Our experience at this apartment was lacking, to say the least. I had by far my worst checkin experience with the host. We had requested an earlier checkin but our host was adamant to not let us checkin even 15 minutes before the written time on the listing. When we tried the automatic checkin system at his mentioned time, it did not work. We asked him to come down to the apartment to let us in, and his tone was very rude. Once we entered, the apartment was quite underwhelming as compared to the pictures. The bedrooms were cramped. The bed linens were nothing like they looked in pictures. The 2 only good things about the place was that the location was good and it was clean.
Overall, there are better options in Malasaña and surrounding areas, with more accommodating hosts and more accurate apartments.
