Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Get to know the vibrant city of Madrid from this cosy and stylish apartment, located near Malasaña. The facilities are simple here and you'll only have a kitchenette, but there's a range of restaurants right on your doorstep for whatever you're craving. Storage is tight here and there isn't a proper wall or door to separate the bedroom from the rest of the home, but we think it's a great spot for a couple or solo traveller looking to live like a local for a weekend. While you won't find parking outside, nearby public transport will make sure you get to visit all of Madrid's best bits with ease.

Home truths
This home is in an apartment building in a central location, so there is a chance you might hear some outside noise during your stay.
We recommend packing light, as storage is tight throughout.
You'll only have a kitchenette here, which is best for preparing light bites rather than large meals. That said, you've got the pick of Madrid's restaurants nearby.
There isn't a door separating the bedroom from the rest of the home, so privacy will be minimal.
While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light.
Groups of young people aged 18 or younger aren't permitted here.
Parties and gatherings strictly aren't permitted at this home.
