The apartment was perfect for us. Clean, easy to deal with, and very cute. Be prepared for the stairs, but we liked the challenge. :). Maria was a dream. She helped us in and was quick to answer any questions. We loved her style as well. Malasana is a great neighborhood. Market across the street, many cafés, bars, and restaurants and also perfect walking distance to the main attractions; close enough but far enough to avoid the herd. ;) A great place for a couple or a few friends.
