This renovated penthouse apartment offers a cosy Madrid getaway. The bedroom is up on a mezzanine level, and it's worth noting that the staircase has no railing and the ceiling gets a bit low where the bed is, so it might not be the best choice for taller guests. The sofa bed in the living area adds flexibility to the sleeping arrangements – while the maximum occupancy is still two, we think this home is ideal for friends travelling together. As for the location, you'll be within reach of several fantastic restaurants, as well as public transport for experiencing the city.

Home truths
Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
This home is in a building with a lift, but you'll need to climb stairs to access the bedroom, which is up on a mezzanine level. The stairs don't have a railing and have gaps in between each step.
This home is in an apartment building, so there is a chance you might hear some outside noise during your stay.
Although the maximum occupancy for this home is two, there is a sofa bed in the living room as well as the double bed.
The mezzanine ceiling is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
The air conditioning at this home may not reach the mezzanine level.
Quiet hours are between 10pm and 10am.

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.
