Staying at Maria Jose's apartment in Malasaña near Gran Via was perfect for my friend and I. I spent 1 year living just a block away and so I was thrilled to find an affordable Airbnb nearby so that I could show my friend around. Maria Jose was flexible with our check-in, allowing us to leave our things while the cleaning was finished. Maria Jose promptly checked in with us via text to be sure everything was okay. The apartment is quaint, cozy, and has everything you need. The location could not be any better to walk everywhere in the city center. When we accidentally had an issue with one key (that we caused), Maria Jose immediately solved our problem so that we did not miss a moment of our short 3-night stay. I would recommend this Airbnb!
