This apartment is just as described and situated in a great location. Malasana is super hip, young, and there is a lot of the city's best dining, drinking and shopping options within a couple blocks. It's under 5 minutes walking to several Metro stops and 15 to Puerto del Sol. The apartment itself is modern, recently renovated and quite comfortable. The heating/AC, plentiful hot water and nice kitchen was great. A small balcony is nice for views and sunlight, although not quite big enough for sitting (this is the standard). Comfy bed and quiet nights. Washing machine was a useful addition for us. Great place for couples or a small family. Note the climb up the stairs is narrow and steep, but that also gets you away from street noise.
