We stayed at Alejandro's apartment, adjacent to shops and restaurants located in the Malasana area. At first, I was worried because we came to the apartment 15 minutes early and I couldn't find a phone to call him, but he arrived promptly on the agreed time. As what the previous reviewers stated, the place is clean and comfortable enough for two to three people on the bottom floor. I couldn't tell you if the appliances worked as we didn't cook or wash our clothes. Compared to our other apartments that we stayed in other countries, the water pressure in the apartment was strong. Definitely enjoyed my stay at his place and would consider his place again.
