This place is amazing. We went to Madrid to feel refreshed and inspired and having this place as a home base was fantastic. Everything is walkable in Madrid but we found the Malasaña area to be our favorite to be centralized in. Plenty a great shopping nearby and loads of food options. Similar to Lower East Side in New York or Austin or Portland crowds if you're familiar with US cities.
Maria was an excellent host. She claims her English isn't great but we absolutely zero problems communicating with her. Also, her design choices are well thought out and super pleasing to be around. The window out to the street was a huge perk and the amount of natural light was great for us. When we go back to Madrid, this is definitely our first option. ¡Muchas gracias Maria!
