Located in the heart of the city, this home offers modern comforts in a great location. Outside, you can stroll to Paseo de Recoletos or Plaza de Santa Ana, and there are restaurants, cafes and shops all within easy reach. You won’t find private parking here, but there is public parking available nearby and it’s just a short walk to the nearest transport links. Inside, it’s worth noting the bedrooms are separated by curtains and there is a sofa bed for two guests.

Home truths
This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
Please note the bedrooms are separated by curtains with no doors, so it’s rather lacking in privacy.
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on request.
While complimentary toiletries are included in your stay, you won't find a welcome hamper here. We’d recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
Given the home's central spot, it’s possible you may hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There is also a 24-hour noise monitoring system here.

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.
