Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
Air conditioning is only available in the bedroom here – the living room has a fan instead. This works well for most of the year, but if you're visiting during Madrid's hottest summer months, it's worth bearing in mind.

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.
