I had such a lovely time in Madrid, and staying at Malika's apartment was a big reason why. Centrally located in the Chueca neighborhood, it was the perfect place to start from - steps to the Metro, easy access to all the cultural and historical landmarks of Madrid, and literally surrounded by restaurants and steps to fantastic nightlife.
Malika greeted me at the apartment to hand me the keys, and she let me in a few hours early, too - very hospitable and friendly! The building has a beautiful, classic look, but is also modern and clean, safe, and charming. The apartment itself was clean, spacious, very comfortable, and quiet. I plan on returning to Madrid (very soon, I hope!) and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It was perfect for me.
Gracias, Malika!
