It’s going to be very common to say that everything was perfect, but not saying it wouldn’t be fair.
It wouldn’t be fair neither to say that the pictures of the place are realistic : the real thing is even more magic !!
So, to be short.
⁃The flat is just splendid : cosy comfy like any home you’d dream of, decorated with tremendous good taste, pleasant to spend time in…
⁃The neighborhood : from what we’ve seen in 5 days, Malasaña is by faaaaaaar the best place to be in Madrid ! Loads of nice restaurants, shops, lovely architecture, some of a hipster atmosphere but most places are still affordable. Madrid’s brunch capital for sure ! But paradoxically, not too touristee, so you really get this feeling to live like a local.
⁃The host : Al’s welcome is warm, helpful, flexible, all attentive to the little details that make you feel at ease.
Thank you for that…
We wouldn’t imagine to come back in Madrid without trying to stay at your place again !
