This apartment is in the amazing Malasana neighbourhood. Cafés, bars, restaurants and local boutiques surround it with friendly, down to earth folk who were gracious with the dozen words of Spanish I know. Easy access to the metro. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe in this neighbourhood. Carmelo's apt was large, super clean and very comfortable. It was a pleasure to return to after a day of wandering. Carmelo was wonderful and answered messages very quickly and offered maps and guidance upon my arrival. Quick food recommendation, Mas Al Sur on Calle de Santa Isabel. Amazing food and staff! I would not hesitate to stay at Carmelo's again!
