Fady’s place is in the middle of Malasana- and close to absolutely everything! Walk out of the apartment and there are bunches of eating places, bars and things to do. No need for a taxi anywhere unless you want to go to anywhere outside the city. Right on Grand Via and so convenient. Very safe area and comfortable room with air conditioning in the room! Only downside is city noise outside window, but it did not bother us much. Fast responses by Fady and he is a great host. Thank you Fady! We will consider staying again when in Madrid.
