Comfortable and homely, this Madrid pad is tailor-made for a family or two couples looking to explore the city with ease. The open-plan living and dining area provides ample space for everyone to spread out, and the addition of a desk for remote work is a bonus. And while the kitchen may be lacking a view of any kind, we think you’ll be too focused on rustling up tapas for tea to notice. Locally, El Retiro Park is a stone’s throw away, where lush scenery awaits.

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.
