I stayed in Álvaro's Malasaña studio with my sister for four nights in October. The location of the apartment is great! All the bars, cafes and restaurants in Malasaña and Chueca are right at your doorstep and any sights are well within walking distance.

The apartment itself was a good size for the two of us and it was light, airy and quiet. The bathroom is small and does get wet when you take a shower, but Álvaro has provided a squeegee for that amongst other necessities. Álvaro had also stocked the fridge with some food and drinks which was a nice gesture.

Álvaro is a very friendly and helpful guy who was more than happy to give us recommendations and made us feel very welcome. I like Airbnb because there's a chance you get meet people like him - thanks Álvaro!
