The Malasaña neighborhood is fantastic! There are lots of great restaurants, bars, places to buy fresh produce (& even get a freshly squeezed fruit juice), as well as little & not so little supermarkets. The metro station is a few minutes away, making the location an excellent one. The apartment is spacious & the owner put a lot of thought into making it comfortable. Eduardo responds quickly if there is an issue & we had no problem whatsoever getting into the property, which you can access by calling a number that Eduardo provides you. Once you dial the number, the door opens like magic. Very cool. While some of the furniture is a little dated, the apartment is still comfortable & has everything you need in a home away from home. Gracias Eduardo!
