Julio and Sarah's flat is a pleasure: tastefully decorated, well-equipped and with an extremely comfortable bed, it trumps most hotel rooms I've stayed in. The location is great for anyone looking to get stuck into the city nightlife -- it's almost directly in the middle of Malasaña and Cheuca -- but, thanks to the flat's location at the rear of the building, those wanting a good night's sleep won't be disturbed by the noise, either. The only thing to flag as a potential downside is that because its only window faces into a central courtyard, it doesn't catch much sunshine: those wishing to sit on a balcony and watch the world go by should look elsewhere. I'd recommend it for almost anyone else.
