We really loved the apartment and the central location. It had everything one needed to be comfortable. The Malasana neighborhood was very bohemian, with lots of funky cafes and little boutiques selling artisan wares and vintage clothing. We also walked to the Sunday Markets, the Prado and Reina Sofia Museums and the many great plazas and parks. Victoria was a great host and gave us a lot of great recommendations for enjoying everything Madrid has to offer!
