Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With exposed brickwork and wooden beams, this home is full of character. Granted, some of the rooms are on the cosy side and at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the bed in the living room. That said, it’s a small price to pay for this home’s enviable location. A stroll in one direction takes you to the Prado Museum and Botanical Gardens. Head the opposite way, and you’ll reach the iconic Plaza Mayor. And for trips further afield, the nearby metro is waiting to whisk you away.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the bed in the living area.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There's no air conditioning here. It could get a little hot during the summer.
While we love this home's overall design, it lacks natural light in some areas due to the living area's frosted windows and smaller bedroom windows.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the smaller side. That said, you'll find everything needed for a comfortable stay.
Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

Local guide
About Lavapiés
Like many neighbourhoods on the rise, Lavapiés proudly displays its rough edges. The Times Magazine has recently included it in the 50 best neighbourhoods to live in the world, and it’s not hard to understand its appeal. It’s a melting pot of cultures, bravely experimenting with international influences. Lavapiés is full of contrast — some streets have already embraced a more luxurious vibe with chic boutiques and fusion restaurants popping up every month, while others are still filled with artistic squats and street vendors. It’s the ultimate antidote to boredom.
