This apartment is unbelievable. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and were wishing that we could have stayed longer! First of all the apartment is located in the hip neighborhood Malasana. By "hip" I mean loads of creative and high quality restaurants, bars, and shops. You could spend days just exploring all the well designed spaces. We loved waking up and walking around Malasana. The apartment itself is super clean, outfitted with new appliances, comfortable, practical, and designed beautifully. My husband and I were both delighted by all of the conveniences and well executed design. There is a sweet balcony overlooking the street with a view of an old church. The apartment is perfect for 2-3 people tops in my opinion. It has all the amenities you could need from makeup removing wash cloths to a rainwater showerhead setting to an espresso machine to air conditioning ++++! I am not exaggerating when I say that we were sad to leave this place. We are restaurant and bar owners and being around here was incredibly relaxing and inspiring for us. Marlen gave us wonderful recommendations on where to eat- our anniversary dinner was spent at BAR GALLETA and it couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you Marlen and your family for creating such a comforting and charming apartment for travelers to enjoy. Checkin and checkout were simple. Communication was perfect. The building itself is beautiful and safe. The apartment is only up one flight of stairs. I can't wait to visit Madrid again and when I do- I will be staying here.
