Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled in Malasaña, this stylish apartment is just steps away from bars and eateries. Travelling around Madrid is easy with a metro station nearby, but you can also explore on foot – Plaza Mayor, Gran Vía and Puerta del Sol are all within walking distance. When you need a break from sightseeing, make yourself comfortable back home. It makes a convenient base for remote workers, with a separate desk and speedy wi-fi. There's also a compact kitchen, cosy living room, and comfortable bedroom. Air conditioning is only available in the living area, but we think that's a worthwhile compromise for a retreat in the heart of the city.

Local guide
About Puerta del Sol
Puerta del Sol is the epicentre of the city and home to Madrid’s most famous meeting point – ‘Oso y El Madroño’, the bear with the strawberry tree. The central square of this neighbourhood is quite literally where all the roads in the Iberian peninsula lead to, which means it’s really hard to get lost if this is where you want to go. This area is popular both day and night, with buskers, natives, and tourists snapping photos of some of Madrid’s most iconic sights.
