Luis was kind enough to allow me to check in early after a long flight and was very welcoming. Beautiful apartment with all the amenities one could wish for. In my opinion, the location of the apartment was perfect-right in the heart of Malasaña, which became my favorite barrio in Madrid. The plaza at night is very lively, though I could not hear any noise in the apartment even with open windows. Great shops, cafes and restaurants close by and in the neighboring barrio, Chueca. I would definitely return to this apartment when I find myself in Madrid again!
