My partner and I stayed in Al's apartment for 2 nights in August and we were very happy with Al's warm welcome, easy check-in and recommendations for places to eat and see. The apartment is located on the top floor of a 4-story building in the trendy Malasaña area and, while there is no lift, the climb is definitely worth it. The space is artistically decorated, well-proportioned, the wet room is functional and the bed is very comfortable. The quick wifi also came in handy. We would recommend Al's apartment is a great base of operations to explore the delights of Madrid!
