This was a very stylish apartment in a FABULOUS location in Malasaña. There are 2 metro stops right outside and so many great restaurants within a 2 minute walk! Raquel and Lucas were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay, showing us how to use the washing machine and where the iron and ironing board was since I had asked beforehand.
A few things to be aware of: this is a ground floor apartment with no natural light which made waking up in the morning difficult. The shower is very small and could be a problem if you are a bigger person. Lastly, it being in an old apartment the plumbing is likely old as well and you cannot throw toilet paper in the toilet and sometimes there is an unpleasant smell throughout the apartment. The hosts have an automatic air freshener on the wall, but I think it had run out when we arrived, so hopefully that will resolve the issue! We were also there for 9 nights so for a shorter stay these things would likely be less bothersome.
Overall we enjoyed our stay in Madrid and are so happy we stayed in the Malasaña neighborhood!
