This place is pretty much in the middle of the Malasaña neighbourhood and staying there was great! It's on the very top of the apartment building (there's no elevator, you're warned ;)) and it is very spacious and bright. Even the stairway leading up to the apartment was nice (if you have been in Spain for any period of time, you'll know that many of these stairways are extremely shabby).

Al managed to accommodate our late check-in (we arrived around 11.30pm) without any problem. He was very friendly and gave us loads of tips on what to do and see (we never made it to the photography exhibition he talked about though..). There was free wine, coffee, and pretty much anything you could ask for. All in all, this is a highly recommended place to stay, and this is among the better ones I've stayed in during the past couple of years!
