Like many of Europe’s great cities the distance between penthouse and pavement is not far. Though only one street back from Gran Via, this area has a different lively though perhaps more earthy, street life. The apartment was lovely, adequate for the needs of 3 people, and equipped with AC which was very important with 42 degree heat outside. Even just closing the wooden blinds kept the apartment cool. Tribunal and the rest of Malasana only 5/10 minutes walk away. Central Madrid only minutes away. Good shower and comfy bed.
