This was our first time visiting Madrid - we knew nothing about the area and picked this place based on the pictures (what can I say) … after spending 6 nights here we realized just how lucky we got with the neighborhood. There is SO much good food and fun bars - without any of the touristy trap vibes / feels. If you look up the neighborhood online (Malasaña) you will see it is a very trendy neighborhood, popular with the young / “cool” crowd. We unfortunately came down with colds the day we arrived (plenty of pharmacies close by to purchase Covid tests!), so it was nice to have a cozy place with a pretty view to relax and work from home. Warning - the shutters make the apartment SO dark you won’t know what day it is haha! So set an alarm! Only complaints are - some salt and pepper would have been great, as well as instructions for using the washing machine. We will definitely stay here when we return to Madrid!
