We stayed at Pau and Patricia's apartment for 3 days in Nov. Pau has been very helpful and communicative. He gave us a lot of tips on Madrid attractive locations, restaurants, coffee shops, markets and many others. Malasana is a very nice, lively, attractive and alternative area. We really loved going around in Malasana and enjoyed the nice atmosphere.
We really liked the apartment, where everything is available and the kitchen is perfect for making food.
We definitely recommend you to stay at this cozy apartment.
