Location, location, location - Lorenzo's apartment is in the heart of Malasaña within walking distance to all of the action. (If you prefer a calmer nightlife scene, I'd recommend looking elsewhere in the city.) Lorenzo gave me great recommendations of hidden gems in the neighborhood to check out. The building itself is lovely and the apartment has everything you could need. The cozy size was perfect for me traveling alone. But if you're tall and blind as a bat like me, make sure you wear your glasses on your way up to the loft!
