This apartment is located in the Malasaña-Universidad barrio in Madrid. The neighbourhood is known for its mix of 18th-century architecture and contemporary street art. Plaza del Dos de Mayo with its many bars is a short stroll away, while the Conde Duque Cultural Centre and the Chueca district are both within walking distance. The apartment itself has an open-plan living room, while one bedroom has a desk – perfect for catching up on work. The second bedroom is a little bit more compact but has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep and it has views over the rooftops and city.
