Emerson was a very accommodating and communicative host! He made great efforts to allow my partner and I to check-in early after an international flight. He followed up to make sure we had settled in and were okay.
The location of the apartment is wonderful! Malasaña is a great and quaint neighborhood with access to everything. The apartment was a little bit smaller than expected, but in Madrid life is in the streets so you won’t be spending too much time at “home” anyway! :)
My only complaint is if you need a dark room to sleep like I do, there isn’t a blind on the bedroom window and it gets bright early in the morning. Just pack an eye mask and you’re all set!
