Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A few minutes' walk from this apartment you'll find the impressive Paseo de Recoletos, Plaza Mayor, and other must-see Madrid sights. There are plenty of fashionable shops, stylish bars and delicious restaurants to enjoy, too. Back home, there's a little shared courtyard, while inside, wooden beams and vaulted ceilings add character. If you’re tall, be careful not to bump your head, as the bedroom has sloped ceilings. Also, at full capacity, two people will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area, making the room quite cramped. But these are minor points – all things considered, this is a decent base for a city break.

Local guide
About Lavapiés
Like many neighbourhoods on the rise, Lavapiés proudly displays its rough edges. The Times Magazine has recently included it in the 50 best neighbourhoods to live in the world, and it’s not hard to understand its appeal. It’s a melting pot of cultures, bravely experimenting with international influences. Lavapiés is full of contrast — some streets have already embraced a more luxurious vibe with chic boutiques and fusion restaurants popping up every month, while others are still filled with artistic squats and street vendors. It’s the ultimate antidote to boredom.
