Laura was there to meet us at the apartment and explained everything very well. She was very welcoming, left us a bottle of wine, tea and coffee and the apartment was as seen in the photos. The apartment was 4 floors up without a lift which did not bother us but may not suit everyone. The double bed was big enough for 2 ppl and comfortable. The people living in the other apartments were all local which was nice. The area Malasana is lively with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants and is within walking distance of Placa Major, Sol etc.
