Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the heart of the hip Malasana neighbourhood with its trendy bars, coffee shops and vintage clothes shops, this apartment is perfect for couples seeking an energetic area to briefly call home. The kitchen allows you to cook a quick breakfast each morning before heading out to explore, and the soft bed will be a blessing after a night out exploring. The local area is awash with places to eat and drink – we recommend checking out the Plaza del 2 de Mayo, a historic squared replete with bustling bars and market stalls at the weekend. History and architecture buffs will want to walk over to Gran Vía. Just a five-minute walk away, the street features buildings in a variety of styles, from revivalist to art deco.
