In the heart of Madrid’s artsiest neighbourhood, Barrio de las Letras, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a cultural city break. First of all, you’ve got the world-famous Prado museum a five-minute walk away, then there’s the sprawling greenery of Retiro Park, just seven minutes on foot. If locally-grown fresh food and lazy lunches of tapas are your thing, head to Antón Martín Market, an eight-minute walk away.

Perhaps stock up and head back to your quiet bolthole, where a compact but fully-equipped kitchen awaits. Floor-to-ceiling French-style windows let the sunshine stream in, so dining at the table inside is a delight during the day. The decor is neutral and soothing in dove-grey and dusky pinks. The best bit? You can take your fresh olives from the market and a bottle of wine up to the shared rooftop terrace where an outdoor lounge with rooftop views awaits.

Boasting a privileged position in Madrid’s culture-rich Las Letras neighbourhood, this top-floor apartment offers comfort and style in equal measure. 
 
Its slanted ceilings and contemporary decor make an immediately striking welcome in the open-plan living area, bathed in light thanks to the scenic skylights that give way to rooftop views. Make yourself comfortable in the seating nook with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the city, or gather together at the dining table for a meal when you’re not out sampling the lively local tapas scene. The beamed bedroom is a serene space you’ll love retreating to at the end of the night, as you fall asleep to the glow of the moon through the skylight. 
 
What’s more, you’ve got access to the building’s shared rooftop terrace – a beautiful sun trap that beckons alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners as you watch the light fade over the city. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, you’re in an ideal spot to make the most out of Madrid’s most celebrated museums with the famous Museo Nacional del Prado a five-minute walk and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía a seven-minute stroll. You’re also a thirteen-minute walk from leafy El Retiro Park, a fifteen-minute stroll from Plaza Mayor, while bustling Gran Vía is ten minutes away on foot.

Nestled among the vivacious nightlife, medieval streets, and traditional tapas bars of Madrid’s lively Lavapiés neighbourhood, this apartment is in the mix of the city’s bursting cultural scene. Here, you’re steps away from the city’s most popular tourist attractions, but far enough from the throngs of crowds.

Stepping inside, you’ll find a bright, minimalist interior that’ll suit any preference. Natural light billows through the patio doors, inviting you to enjoy your morning coffee from the Juliet balcony, watching daily life resume in the streets below. And when you return home after a day of exploring Madrid, enjoy a few glasses of wine and a game of cards around the dining table before heading out to one of Lavapiés’ restaurants.

Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, the central location will certainly come in handy. If you are here for work, the city’s business area is within easy reach – simply hop on the metro to make your way there. But if you want to stay closer to home, you’ll find much to explore. Stroll around the Reina Sofía Museum, marvel at the San Fernando Church, or simply discover the steep streets and traditional corrola buildings.

Nice to haves

Just a ten-minute walk from Plaza Mayor, this stylish flat isn't messing about when it comes to location. Interesting museums, high-end shopping and many of Madrid's must-see landmarks are a quick stroll away – including Puerta del Sol, Parque de El Retiro and Palacio Real de Madrid, just to name a few. If you love trying new cuisine, you're in luck – this neighbourhood has an array of delectable restaurants and lively bars to while away the evenings in.

Or, if you're partial to homecooked meals, make your way back to this stylish flat and rustle up something tasty in the kitchen. It has everything you'll need – a large island, built-in appliances and plenty of counter space. The rest of the flat is impeccable, too – two glossy bathrooms (one decked out with bold palm leaf wallpaper, another en-suite) feature rainfall showers, the comfortable bedrooms are cosy and pared-back and the bright living area boats a squishy sofa and a lovely Juliet balcony that floods the room with light. We think you'll love calling this apartment home, whether you're in town for a few days or a few weeks.

Centro In Dusk

While this studio apartment situated in the heart of Madrid may be small in size, it more than makes up for it in charm and comfort. An ideal base for a couple or a solo traveller, this city gem has everything to make your stay a restful one, and when it comes to exploring the many wonders the Spanish capital has to offer, you couldn’t wish for a better location as your starting point.

Enter to be greeted by a warm and welcoming space, bathed in light flooding in through the large windows which lead onto a little balcony. Overlooking a charming street of the Barrio de las Letras, this is a lovely place to sit down and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Back inside you’ll find a large sofa inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax after a day of dashing around the city – settle in for a snuggly night of movies. The bright and well-equipped kitchen will make rustling up a quick and delicious supper a breeze, and you’ll be able to savour it at the dining table. 

A great added bonus is the roof terrace where you can lounge about on the comfy seats and admire the city views sprawling out before you. For a night of restful sleep, you’ll love the soft and comfy bed – and while it shares the space with the rest of the living area, the smart and elegant design means that you won’t feel cramped here. 

Outside your front door, you’ll be just minutes away from the great museums, including the Reina Sofia and Museo del Prado, as well as the beautiful Retiro Park.

The Lady of Letters 

Nestled in the heart of Madrid, this home puts you within walking distance of the city's most celebrated monuments and cultural hotspots, including the bustling Plaza Mayor and the iconic Madrid Palace, as well as a collection of art galleries and museums. Best of all, the apartment itself is quiet and comforting, so you don't have to make any compromises. We love the blend of rustic charm and modern design, while the open living space encourages socialising and entertaining. 

Spanish Stroll

Set within the heart of Madrid, this apartment is an ideal base for those looking to drop off their suitcases and head out to explore. It's a studio, so space is limited. We think it's best for couples or solo travellers, though a sofa bed could sleep an additional guest if needed. Locally, indulge in some tasty tapas, soak up some culture at the Prado Museum, or head to Plaza Mayor or Puerta del Sol for a true taste of Madrid.

Put together by a family of interior design aficionados, this home's dreamy atmosphere alone is worth a trip to Madrid.

The most remarkable thing about Espinas is the quiet. Despite having three balconies, and being in the middle of Lavapiés, the street it looks onto is actually fairly calm. The building is old, and a lot of the original structure features prominently in the flat, which has been designed to complement the space, rather than dominate it. There is some pretty loud wallpaper though, which stops the design from falling into the dreaded ‘neutral’ category.


Espinas

It doesn’t get any more central than the location of this stunning duplex apartment, which is an ideal base for those wanting to sample all that this vibrant city has to offer. 

Step through the front door to be welcomed by a lovely living area, bathed in streams of natural light flooding in through the large windows. You’ll find yourself immediately seduced by the charm of this place – the comfy furnishings will tempt you to kick off your shoes and spend the afternoon lounging about and admiring all the unique details. We love the beamed ceilings and the statement brick wall which lends the apartment its warm and elegant ambience. Rustle up quick and delicious meals in the bright open-plan kitchen and enjoy them with your loved ones at the dining table or better still at the sun-kissed roof terrace overlooking the ancient rooftops of the old town. This is also the perfect spot to welcome the day with a cup of coffee in the morning while you plan the day’s excursions. 

Factor in the plush bedrooms which carry the promise of restful sleep and luxurious bathrooms and we think you’ll have everything covered for a perfectly restful stay. 

Outside your door, you’ll find yourself in the best possible spot for exploring the city – allow yourself to get lost in all the magic on offer around every corner. 


Under the Spanish Sky 

Positioned just a fifteen-minute stroll from El Retiro Park, this home provides a stylish base in Madrid’s beating heart. You’ll find it nestled in the cobbled streets of Barrio de las Letras, surrounded by an array of eateries, bars, and museums, the Reina Sofia and the Museo del Prado, less than ten minutes from your doorstep on foot. Perched on the third floor, it boasts delightful views from its street-facing balcony. After a restful slumber, spend mornings out here, tucking into coffee and in the sunshine before slipping out to explore. 

The interior is stylishly furnished and, with its free-flowing layout, provides the perfect space for couples. A timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood floors is brimming with contemporary comforts, including a fully equipped kitchen, while large windows usher in floods of sunlight. Between adventures in the city, you’ll love kicking back in your air-conditioned pad. Snuggle up on the plush sofa, gather around the dining table for a home-cooked meal or enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony at sunset.

A night of restful sleep awaits in the plush bedrooms – wake up and brew up some fresh coffee while you plan the day’s adventures. Just outside, you’ll find yourself within walking distance of Plaza Mayor, as well as an abundance of shops, restaurants and flamenco bars of the old town. 

Madrid in Bloom 

Twenty minutes on foot from Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and El Retiro Park, this apartment is well-placed to explore. Many shops, restaurants, and metro stations are nearby, as well as some of Madrid's most famous markets. When you're not sightseeing, this central home is practical and comfortable. We love the exposed brick and stone walls, though it does mean it's a little dark. The kitchen is the ideal size to rustle up lighter fare, but we suspect you'd prefer dining out. 

Ladrillo

Step into the heart of Madrid with a stay in this contemporary loft. From the simple aesthetic to the functional design, this is a great option for couples and solo travellers in search of a refreshing city stay. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room and the main bedroom is located on the mezzanine level (with no door), but you’ll find all the essentials needed to make it your own. Outside, it’s just a short stroll to local tapas bars, shops and iconic sights like the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid. 


Madrid's Sky Loft

This smart apartment is the perfect place to embrace city living. Located in the very centre of Madrid, it's a great spot to kick back and relax between your adventures. 

Step inside, and you'll find a simple yet chic space that has everything you need for a successful stay. Admire the pretty patterned wallpaper, before heading to the petite kitchen to whip up some Spanish snacks. We think you'll love sitting around the dining table nibbling on some tapas as you sip a glass of Albariño and plan your itinerary. Then, when it's time for sleep, you can watch some TV in bed before drifting off, ready for the following day. 

Culture fans will be in their element – the Museo Nacional del Prado is a ten-minute walk away, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is even closer. When you've had your fill of art and history, head to the nearby El Retiro Park to relax and reflect in the gorgeous gardens. And, when you need to refuel, there's no shortage of independent eateries right on your doorstep – the only difficulty you'll have is picking where to go first. 

Spanish Stories

Desk

Housed in a building that was once home to 18th-century writer and philosopher Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, this beautifully curated apartment blends history and modern comforts in dazzling style. 
 
Featuring sparkling white walls decked with mirrors and earthy-toned artworks, there’s a feeling of bohemian chic in the carefully chosen ornaments that bring together the home’s minimalist aesthetic to great effect. Make yourself comfortable on the inviting sofa with a glass of Spanish wine or gather around the dining table for an at-home tapas feast when you’re not out sampling La Latina’s renowned restaurant and bar scenes. 
 
The bedroom, meanwhile, is a calm and comfortable space designed with a dreamy night’s sleep in mind, and there’s even a desk space here too should the building’s authorly history inspire you to pen some prose. Factor in the thoroughly modern bathroom with its luxurious rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree, relaxing stay. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, your La Latina neighbourhood offers a maze of narrow lanes filled with tapas bars and cantinas to discover, while bargain hunters won’t want to miss the El Rastro flea market held each Sunday, a ten-minute walk away. Elsewhere, bustling Plaza Mayor is a nine-minute walk, the Royal Palace of Madrid is a fifteen-minute stroll and the world-famous Museo Nacional del Prado is eighteen minutes away on foot. 


The Squares of La Latina

Bright and thoughtfully designed, this charming apartment borders the luscious gardens of Real Jardín Botánico and is moments away from Caixa Forum’s vertical growing wall and suspended architecture. This elegant home provides an idyllic base for a family or group of friends seeking a calm retreat with cultural hotspots on the doorstep.

We knew that, if the towering wooden front door with pretty cast iron rosettes was anything to go by, this home would be hiding away some pretty impressive features. From the elegant archway to the hand-painted floral panels, the sweet antique toy horse to the immaculately-tiled kitchen – it's a real gem. There’s a tranquil ambience here, which invites you to wind down in the cosy living space whilst the central dining table insists on a homemade tapas spread for a memorable night with your loved ones. 

The surrounding streets are packed with a host of options. Mornings can be best spent altogether walking around El Retiro Park, just a twelve-minute walk away. When it comes to lunch, there’s a whirlwind of culinary offerings so take your pick - a meat-centred affair at Sala de Despiece or hard-hitting small plates at Tripea’s open kitchen in ​​Mercado de Vallehermoso. After your fill, contemplate the artworks in Prado Museum or pop into the boutiques that line the Golden Mile.

El Caballito

Situated in the lively central quarter of Atocha, this handsome apartment is just fifteen minutes by public transport to Madrid’s main attractions and close to the so-called Art Triangle. Recently renovated, the home has been transformed into a designer space with stylish décor, light tones, splashes of colour and modern art on the walls. But there’s nothing pretentious about it all. The space is just wonderfully inviting and comfortable. Over a coffee and pastry in the kitchen, plan your day’s agenda or spend a lazy morning relaxing on the huge, living room sofa instead. Come afternoon, art-lovers can meander through the nearby galleries, while foodies will want to spoil themselves in the local bars and restaurants. Afterwards, the pretty El Retiro Park is the perfect spot for catching your breath before heading back home. There’s a well-designed kitchen at your disposal so you can whip up a tasty meal before sinking into your effortlessly neat bed. But if you’re in the mood for further entertainment, you’re well-placed to enjoy Madrid’s famously noisy nightlife.     

Painted Dreams

It can be difficult to find accommodation suited to larger groups in the heart of the city, but this smart apartment will tick all the boxes. With plenty of space and flexible sleeping options, this central home is the perfect place to spend some quality time with your guests between your sightseeing excursions. 

You'll love the spacious living area, with double-height ceilings and huge windows that flood the space with natural light. The bike sculptures and selection of houseplants add some quirkiness, while the open-plan layout is perfect for socialising. Uncork a bottle of delicious Spanish wine, and put together some tasty tapas dishes to share at the stylish dining bench. And, when it's time for bed, you can head upstairs to one of the cosy bedrooms, furnished with a blend of vintage and contemporary pieces. 

The famous Puerta del Sol is just an eight-minute walk away from your front door, where you can see famous sights like the Puerta del Sol Clock and the El Oso y El Madroño sculpture. History fans will be happy to know that the Royal Palace is a fifteen-minute walk away, and the Museo Nacional del Prado is the same distance in the opposite direction. And, if you're craving some serenity after all that sightseeing then head to El Retiro Park and wander through the rose gardens before enjoying a picnic by the lake. 

Wheels In Motion

Located in Atocha, this home will put you within walking distance of Madrid's famous sights–and we mean all of them. From Plaza Mayor to the Prado, you'll be surrounded by the best of Madrid whatever direction you head off to. Retro Baroque is an eclectic home that doesn't hide its eccentricities. Classical styles mix with transparent polymers in a bold attempt to create a contemporary look. It's not for everyone, but with luxurious touches and natural light, it's best suited for urban explorers seeking comfort after a long day. 

Retro Baroque

This bright and welcoming apartment is a comfortable and quiet oasis in the heart of Lavapiés, one of Madrid’s best-loved neighbourhoods. From this convenient base, you’re within easy reach of designer shops, bars, markets and theatres, in addition to some of the city’s most popular tourist spots – Plaza Mayor is only a fifteen-minute walk. Lavapiés metro station is also a short walk away. Ideal for those working during their stay, there are two desks at this home. 


My Way

Balcony / Patio

With its elevated position in the heart of Madrid, this stylish apartment welcomes you to an uplifting stay in the city.

Just a ten–minute walk from the iconic Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor, this is a wonderful place to experience the cultural depth and beauty of the surroundings. And as soon as you step inside, you’ll want to pause and admire the details that make this home unique. From the traditional wooden beams to the elegant styling, every detail inspires a sense of warmth and ease. And whether you’re preparing a Spanish-inspired meal or relaxing on the sofa, there’s a lovely sense of harmony that makes it easy to settle in. 

Days can be spent exploring, shopping, sightseeing and simply enjoying the inspiring energy of the city. El Retiro Park is only a twenty–five–minute away and makes a wonderful sport for an afternoon stroll. Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a calm oasis in the heart of the city. 

Abode in the Sky

Nestled in the bustling heart of the city, this Lavapiés apartment is just the spot for those who want interior design and location. From here, you can walk to El Retiro, Mercado Antón Martín and Museo Nacional del Prado, as well as all the city’s top eateries. The apartment accommodates five, with three sleeping on sofa beds, so though perhaps a little compact, the flexibility is there if you need it. And while you’ll need to climb some stairs to reach this fourth-floor pad, the stylish interiors and little balcony are a treat after a long day of sightseeing. 

Painted Haven

Baby Bath

Heated Towel Rail

First Aid Kit

Ten minutes from the alfresco drinking spots of Plaza Mayor, and just over fifteen from the lush greenery of the Parque de El Retiro, this apartment is a wonderful base in Madrid. Despite being so close to main attractions and located among the most vibrant streets, it’s a space where you can relax. This apartment is classy, colourful, and comfortable. The host has taken it upon themself to create a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city, curating an eclectic look with antiques and flea-market finds. We love the living and dining room, complete with mid-century chairs and a chandelier to create an elegant glow for dinner parties. Another fabulous use of light comes from the shuttered windows to your private balcony. With three sets of rich, wooden folding doors, you can step out to the railings with a glass of tempranillo after supper to watch the city light up at nightfall. With decorative, gilded bed frames in the sumptuous bedrooms, you’ll even feel stylish while you sleep. Rest up well, because you’ve got some exploring to do the next morning – the three galleries of the Art Walk are all less than fifteen minutes away.

The Venetian

A perfect base for city adventures, this home in the heart of Madrid is a refreshing blend of old and new. Set in a typical period building, it's anything but old-fashioned inside, with white walls and concrete tile floors providing the backdrop to a riot of colourful art and dramatic, contemporary furnishings. Think tall ceilings and French doors, but also statement lighting and a sleek, white kitchen. 

Designed for a couple or a solo traveller, it's not all style over substance – it's a perfectly inviting, comfortable home from home. We particularly love the artsy living room, with its little balcony, and the bathroom, where you can freshen up in the rainfall shower under the banana leaf ceiling.

A pretty, quiet spot, but with all the major attractions – as well as all sorts of cafes, restaurants and bars – practically on your doorstep, it's an excellent choice.

After Effects

Based around an open living area, Peaks & Valleys is well proportioned and generally a sociable space. It’s not in pristine condition, as evidenced by the marks on the walls, but that’s an aesthetic consideration, and doesn’t make the home any less comfortable. The metro station in Lavapiés is close to the flat, and while the square outside is a little rough around the edges, there are several lively bars and restaurants.


Peaks & Valleys

This fabulous three-bedroom apartment is stylishly decorated throughout and brimming with character. The open-plan living room has lovely high ceilings, beautiful period windows, and a bright and airy feel. The bedrooms might not be the largest bedrooms we've ever seen, but they all have a lovely, calming feel and do the job just fine. We also love all the original paintings  throughout the home - this host has style!

Yellow Brushwork

This minimal pad is located in the vibrant Lavapiés neighbourhood and offers an ideal stay on the doorstep of the Plaza Mayor and Reina Sofía Museum. The apartment itself is modern, though the kitchen needs a refresh – that said, some of Madrid’s most eclectic restaurants are right on your doorstep. With space for six guests, two of which will be on the living room sofa bed, it'll do nicely as a city base – all the sights are within easy reach, and Lavapiés metro is just a short walk away.

Bathrobes

This home is far from a pristine condition, but we're sure you can spot the wear and tear from the photos. The exposed wooden beams and the older-looking elements help create a special kind of charm that's hard to find in Madrid these days. The Open Library might also have one of the finest kitchens we've seen, equipped with enough dishes space to cook for a small army. The fact that it's also located within walking distance from the Prado and Puerta del sol makes this home a great, relaxed stay. 

The Open Library

You’ll hit the bullseye in this cool modern apartment, bang in the centre of Madrid's hip and happening Embajadores area. A bright space with tastefully exposed brickwork and an American-style kitchen, you’ll find plenty here to make yourself feel at home. Sip a coffee on the iron balcony railings looking out at the street below, or start the day slowly by kicking back on the white leather sofa with a book in hand. The sizeable bedroom is well-lit, the bathroom fully provisioned and pleasantly decorated with marble-look tiles, and there’s even a designated workspace for those travelling on business. But it’s the apartment’s location in the central hub of Madrid that will truly excite you, as you’re within walking distance from everything fun and artistic, including the Prado Museum, the Rastro flea market and the Plaza Mayor, as well as endless bars, eateries, theatres and shops too. Situated just metres away from the metro, you'll have easy access to explore the whole city with ease and efficiancy. Lively and diverse, dramatic street art decorates the Embajadores neighbourhood, while colourful flower stalls perfume the air and please the senses one step further. With all of this at your command in the coolest area of Madrid – why stay anywhere else? 

Culture Cool

Set within one of Madrid's coolest areas, Lavapiés, this home has a great address. You'll be within walking distance of some fantastic cultural attractions, such as La Casa Encendida. And you'll be able to pick up some craft beer, cheese and other goodies from the nearby San Fernando Market. Take some ingredients back and rustle up some tapas in the modern kitchen. The first thing that strikes you with this home is its lofty ceilings. Up the staircase, you'll find the mezzanine bedroom, which overlooks the living space. This place would suit couples, a family or business professionals.

Madrid's Loft Oasis

Welcome Hamper

Madrid is the vibrant, beating heart of Spain where wine bar chatter runs long into the night and the handsome streets are packed with galleries and museums. This apartment, in soothing neutral tones, is a haven away from the hubbub. Set around an internal courtyard, bedrooms are blissfully quiet. The master is a medley of candyfloss and dusky pink with a simple raw wood bed frame adding a boho touch. The bright living room with its big window can be set up as a social space for dining and hanging out on the sofa, or as a third bedroom with a Murphy bed folding down. You’re in the cultural heart of Madrid here, a ten-minute walk to the world-famous Prado museum and beautiful botanic gardens, and twelve minutes to Plaza Mayor.

Hyacinth

Treat yourself to a stay at this gorgeous modern apartment situated right in the heart of Madrid. It’s the perfect place to base yourself if you want to get immersed in all that this vibrant capital has to offer. 

Step through the front door to be welcomed by a cosy and light-filled interior, lovingly decorated with vintage-themed pieces. We love the striking wallpapers adorning the walls in each of the rooms – while bold wallpaper designs can be a hit and miss, here they really work adding to the charming ambience of this place. 

The living room invites you to kick back and relax on the comfy sofa where you can enjoy evenings of wine and conversation as well as movie nights with your family and friends. Head over to the well-equipped kitchen to rustle up a delicious supper to be enjoyed by the entire party at the elegant dining table. 

For a night of rest and sweet dreams, you have to look no further than the comfy bedrooms, each decorated with a different colour scheme – pick the one which best suits your mood. 

Outside your floral oasis you’ll find yourself in the best possible spot for exploring the city – why not start with what’s on your doorstep, namely the charming narrow streets of La Latina, with their vibrant cafes and restaurants. 


Blossom On the Tree

This charming apartment in Lavapiés is an ideal choice for those who want to spend their time exploring the very best of Madrid’s sights. Conveniently, Antón Martín Market, Plaza Mayor and this neighbourhood’s quaint boutiques are on your doorstep, while Lavapiés metro station is a short walk away. Inside, you’ll be greeted by a large living area, where two guests will be sleeping if you’re visiting as a group of four, and a balcony for sipping cocktails after a day of sightseeing.

A Piece of Madrid

A modern and practical base in the vibrant and multicultural Lavapiés neighbourhood, this apartment offers a fuss-free stay on the doorstep of the Tabacalera cultural centre and Reina Sofía Museum. Some of Madrid’s most eclectic restaurants are on the doorstep, though your kitchenette is well-equipped for nights cooking at home. It’s worth noting there isn’t a lot of natural light here, but the decor is contemporary and has all the basics you could need for an easygoing stay. 

The City in My Pocket

With exposed brickwork and wooden beams, this home is full of character. Granted, some of the rooms are on the cosy side and at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the bed in the living room. That said, it’s a small price to pay for this home’s enviable location. A stroll in one direction takes you to the Prado Museum and Botanical Gardens. Head the opposite way, and you’ll reach the iconic Plaza Mayor. And for trips further afield, the nearby metro is waiting to whisk you away. 

The Perfect Stay

Parking On Street

This bright and welcoming apartment is small but perfectly formed. We love the charm of the exposed wooden beams in this cosy home – it’s a delightful space to return to after busy days of sightseeing. And you’ll be able to explore easily from this convenient setting – Plaza Major is just a short walk away. Puerta de Toledo metro station is nearby too, making seeing further-afield sights as easy as can be. 

The Light of His Eye

Seeking a central spot in Madrid? This intimate studio apartment is situated in the heart of Lavapiés, perfect for those travelling for business or pleasure. In this no-frills home, some guests may find the kitchen's original support beam a bit awkward to navigate, and the lack of air conditioning tricky in the hotter months. But the location wins us over, as you'll discover the Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol a few metres away, plus bars and restaurants dotted about.
