I stayed here with three friends for 4 nights. Melvin's place is in a fantastic location, near the city centre, grocery shops and even a police station is just around the corner. The main metro stations (Gran Vía, Sol) are also very close. The host is easy to reach through phone at any times, and even helped us to get a taxi to the airport in the morning. Nightlife (and the noise coming with it) is normal in such a district, but we loved the vibes of the neighborhood during the nights. On the other hand, the WiFi was not working for 2 days out of the 4, but it was likely an issue of the internet service provider, not the host. The internet problem was quite frustrating, even though we were only staying there during the nights and mornings. This apartment is highly recommended, though, we would also like to return next year or even sooner if we can.
