Our host Natalia was very good with communication and accommodated our needs. The apartment was clean and adequate for our three night stay in Madrid. We found Malasaña to be a safe area with bars, restaurants, bakeries, a pizzaria, boutiques, and small grocery stores all only a few steps away. Also the main Madrid city center and squares are within walking distance of the apartment. Malasaña can be the social and party district on the weekend if that is what you are looking for. But if you need a quiet night’s rest, don’t worry. This apartment is situated on the main floor and is very well insulated from every sound of the street. It is incredibly quiet and we were able to sleep without any sounds or voices from the outside. We were amazed and pleased with how quiet it was.
