Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you're after a fantastic location, this apartment in Salamanca has got you covered. It's a sleek and stylish space with a dining room for sharing tapas and a desk for remote workers. The Juliet balcony caught our attention, though keep in mind you can only stand out here – perhaps with a glass of wine in hand. The living room is a cosy spot to unwind, especially after a long day exploring El Retiro Park, admiring the artworks in Museo Nacional del Prado and shopping along Gran Via. You'll find plenty of restaurants on your doorstep, and the public transport links make it effortless to discover all the iconic sights that Madrid has to offer.

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.
