We stayed at Laura's apartment for a week in May. It is very well located in Malasaña right near some very trendy bars and restaurants (check out la bicicleta, gorila, and vacaciones). It is the perfect place to stay if you are interested in taking part in the nightlife - if you are more interested in a good nights sleep, bring earplugs as noise pollution in Madrid is a big problem. The apartment was very clean, had modern furniture, a comfortable bed, and had anything you could possibly need including a washing machine - and there is a grocery store a few steps away. David was there to greet us and was very friendly. I will definitely return!
