Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This modern apartment is situated in Plaza San Miguel, just a short stroll from Plaza Mayor. It's surrounded by cafes, bars and some of the best restaurants in the city. If you prefer to stay in and cook some Spanish cuisine, there's a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of food preparation space. There are a couple of desks here as well if you need to catch up on work while away. We love the several sets of French doors opening to Juliet balconies. Our favourite spot, though, is the small enclosed balcony – the ideal place to read a book, whatever the weather. You're going to hear some street noise here, but you probably figured that out already.

This part of town has an abundance of space and is far less busy than other parts of central Madrid – the calmness of the area makes it popular with families.
