This apartment lies in Madrid's Malasaña neighbourhood, within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. You might hear some outside noise thanks to the central location, but being on the top floor means you'll get some lovely city views. We think it's a great choice if you're travelling with friends or for work, though the low ceilings in certain areas do mean it may not be as suitable for taller guests. Both beds are up on mezzanine levels and are accessed via stairs that don't have railings, but the sofa folds out to accommodate an extra two guests on the ground level.

Home truths
Parking may be available outside this home, but parking in Madrid can be tricky. We recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The beds at this home are up on mezzanine levels and accessed via stairs. The railings of the levels are made of rope, so it might not be the safest for young children. The ceiling in these areas is also quite low, so might not be suitable for taller guests.
This home is in an apartment building, so there is a chance you may hear some outside noise during your stay.
While we love this home's layout, some areas won't get much natural light during the day.

About Malasaña

Welcoming a mix of trendy locals, university students and in-the-know tourists, this area attracts those looking to move away from the more standard Madrid neighbourhoods to one with a unique, creative flair.
