This apartment is for those seeking design and location. Located in Retiro, this pad caught our eye for its stylish open-plan living space – it’s an idyllic spot to share tapas dinners and sangria pitchers with your loved ones after a day of gallery hopping and shopping on Gran Via. When you feel like dining out you’ll have plenty of authentic eateries and upscale restaurants on your doorstep, though the contemporary kitchen will lure in the home cooks. And while there’s no parking here, the Retiro metro station is just a short walk away.

Home truths
