Malasana is one of the neighborhoods in Madrid you definitely want to stay in, and Bruno's place is lovely. It's perfect for short stays (up to a week or so), and it's the a convenient location. The Tribunal metro station is only ten minutes away, and the Noviciado station is down the street.
Bruno could not meet me on the day I arrived, but he did make sure there was someone at the apartment to buzz me in and help me with my luggage. Andrea dropped in and checked in with me to make sure everything was alright. They are both attentive hosts.
