Stylish 1-Bedroom Apartment in Malasaña-Central Madrid

Location

Wouldn't recommend to anyone, everything wrong with the place

La ubicación

Deberian avisar que es un 5° sin ascensor y que es un poco complicado ducharse estando de pie.

La ubicación es lo mejor que tiene.

Es un antiguo trastero reconvertido. El aire acondicionado apenas funcionaba y en pleno junio fue terrible , se concentraba todo el calor arriba. El sofá es incomodisimo y la TV es de broma hoy en día. En la bañera no puedes ducharte sin agacharte porque si no te das contras las vigas de madera. No hay ascensor en el edificio y es un quinto.

The apartment was terrible but there were restaurants, an ATM, and small snack stores nearby.

The apartment is on the 5th floor with no elevator. It is in the attic so the ceiling is sloped. The ceiling in important areas was 5’ 6” (168 cm) or lower. It was necessary to crouch down to use the bathroom and kitchen sink, to shower, and get to the bed. The portion of the unit where you can stand up straight is very small (I’m 5’11”, 180 cm). The apartment is very basic (no decorations, no blanket, crusty towels) and far from major tourist attractions ($20 taxi ride). I’ve stayed in over 50 apartments during my travels, the apartment was by far the worst.

Great location, central but not too busy, not too crowded area. A lot of nice coffee places and restaurants and also a supermarket. A lovely romantic attic apartment with a nice feel to it. We were very happy for 4 days there. There are stairs to climb to get to it, but we took it as an advantage, guilt-free splurge on Jamon & Sangria, as you burn calories till you get upstairs :) Nice accommodating hosts and very clean apartment. A/C also very helpful.

mattress on the flor is air mattress, so every time you get on air goes out and you finish on the floor. the sofa is broken and can not be jused for sleeping

location is good

Relaxed ambience and accommodating host

The stairs when I got home tired but I was aware of this when I booked so it s something I took in my stride coz I travel light and never have much to carry
