Make your stay in Madrid truly unique with this beautifully restored 19th-century apartment. Located just a four-minute walk from Puerta del Sol, you couldn’t be better placed to explore the city – you’ll be feeling the pulse of the Spanish capital in no time. Inside, tall beamed ceilings, wood floors and exposed brick walls nod to the home’s history with antique-inspired furnishings creating an almost villa-type atmosphere that’s as dreamy as it is bohemian. We love the French doors that open out onto romantic Juliet balconies with views of Plaza de Jacinto Benavente below. With the bed facing the picture windows, you can wake up and enjoy your morning coffee first thing while people-watching from your fourth-floor vantage point. With a beautiful stained-glass adorned bathroom and a working fireplace to cosy up next to on cooler nights – a glass of Spanish wine in hand – you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, stylish stay. Outside of your home, Madrid’s famous shopping street, Gran Vía, is a ten-minute walk away, Plaza Mayor is five minutes on foot, the Prado Museum is walkable in fifteen and beautiful El Retiro Park is a twenty-minute stroll from your door.

Home truths

    There are a couple of steps leading up to the elevator (which can only fit three people at a time)

    As this is a studio apartment, there's no separation between the living and sleeping areas

    This home isn't suitable for children or infants

    The kitchenette doesn't have an oven

    The surrounding area can get quite busy, so you may hear some street noise with the windows open

    You'll receive an in-person check-in – your hosts live next door, so can be flexible when it comes to check-in times as long as you let them know in advance

    There's a paid multilevel parking garage a twelve-minute drive away, but we recommend skipping the car and using Madrid's public transport instead – Sol station is a three-minute walk away
