This is perfect for a couple who want to be close to everything without the noise and traffic on the Gran Via. Julia Cesar is a great host who stocked the fridge with soft drinks, water, and beer for our arrival. It's just a few blocks to the Temple Debod in one direction and the Gran Via in the other. We found it easy to explore Malasaña from this place and would highly recommend it be the base for your trip. The parking was a lifesaver as well.
