We loved our stay at Lola's place. The apartment's location was one of the best parts, with a lively plaza just a minute walk up the street, with Madrid's other main attractions within a 15 minute walk. We loved the neighborhood vibe of Malasana. Lola was very quick to respond to my messages and made check-in very easy, even with us arriving at 11:30 at night. She also provided an extensive list of places to eat, many of which we tried. The room was well equipped, with plenty of room for 4 people, although we only had two. As the apartment is very near that plaza I mentioned, it is loud at night as well as throughout the building, as it is very old. We had no issue with this but maybe something to keep in mind if you do. We hope to visit Madrid again soon and hopefully Lola's apartment is open!
