We had a perfect weekend at Carmelo's apartment. Carmelo welcomed us very warm and friendly and made us feel at home immediately. He also gave very useful advice to make the most of our stay in Madrid. In short - you couldn't hope for a better host. The apartment is very cosy and tasteful. Everything looks exactly as the pictures show it, if not even better. Therefore it was sometimes even hard to leave the flat to enjoy the amazing nightlife of malasaña or its uncountable cafes and the many sights of Madrid. The apartment is perfectly located for any purpose - malasaña offers a huge variety of tapas bars, cafes and cocktail bars. Furthermore the whole city centre including all major sights and other interesting areas are within walking distance from the apartment. However it lies in a more quiet part of the street, so we didn't have any problems with noise during the night. In short: Our trip was perfect regarding the host as well as the apartment and we would always come back. I can absolutely recommend to stay at Carmelo's apartment.
