We had a fantastic stay at the appartment and only wish we could have had a few more days. It really lives up to the glowing reviews and Pablo is an excellent host who is always on hand to help and responds quickly. The appartment surpasses the impressive photos - its spacious, spotlessly clean and a wonderful base for your trip (we used all rooms for our party of 4 and we're so comfy we struggled to get going early morning!). The square and district of Malasana is amazing - on stepping out of the door you have a wide choice of local bars and restauarants to sample as well as a local supermarket literally yards away. You can walk everywhere and an easy 15 minute stroll to the heart of Madrid city centre. Best way to see Madrid is by foot (we got our bearing by using the tour bus initially) - take in the sights then return to Maslana to sample the wonderful food and local hospitality - all places we tried were excellent and the square has a great buzz and vibe about it that we really enjoyed. We would highly recommend this appartment and Pablo's warm hospitality to anyone considering a trip to Madrid - look no further. Thanks Pablo and Iris!.
