Leticia’s place was great and we would definitely want to stay there again.
The space has been smartly renovated to hold all you need in a compact way without making it feel small. It’s also beautifully decorated to make it feel very high end. It comes in three floors with the kitchen at the entrance, living room in the middle and bedroom and balcony on the top. Highlight is the balcony overlooking the rooftops in the charismatic area of Malasaña. We spent a couple afternoons here just before heading out to dinner. Just having a couple of drinks and enjoying the sunset over to roof tops. Amazing.
The area is perfect if you like a little edgy and has so much character. Small beautiful old houses that hold history and a soul. Also very central so you can easily get almost anywhere from here. Great cafes and breakfast places close too. Incredible being so close to restaurants and nightlife but never hearing one sound. The street is incredibly quiet.
The hosts were perfect too. Leticia was super helpful before and throughout our stay and when we had a small issue opening the door at arrival, Sergio came by in minutes and helped us out. We also arrived very late and were positively surprised to find that Leticia had left us some basic snacks and drinks in the fridge that saved our first night.
In summery, our trip to Madrid was one of our favorite city trips so far and a huge part is due to this amazing apartment.
