This modern, light-filled apartment is just the ticket for those seeking a central base in Madrid’s Salamanca neighbourhood. From here, you’ll have your pick of restaurants and bars, while El Retiro Park is only fifteen minutes away on foot. The highlight of this apartment is the open-plan living space, complete with a library – where better to unwind after a day of sightseeing? And while the kitchen is minimal, it’s well-equipped for home-cooked dinners. Keep in mind that noise comes with a central location, so earplugs might be a welcome addition to your packing list.

Local guide
About Salamanca
Salamanca is Madrid’s most glamorous and prestigious quarter. Usually associated with aristocratic façades, wide avenues, and luxurious living (atypical for Madrid’s cosy centre), the neighbourhood attracts domestic and international elite. It’s also home to many embassies and private schools, as well as niche museums and designer boutiques along its ‘Golden Mile’. The demanding clientele has made the food scene equally exclusive, but while you’re likely to find quite a few Michelin-star restaurants in the area, there are lots of relaxed tapas bars for those less willing to splash the cash.
