Ornate period ceilings give this Santa Engracia apartment a sense of character that a modern build simply can't replicate, and the sunny terrace is the kind of spot that turns an evening drink into a long, unhurried affair with the neighbourhood spread out around you. Indoors, a record player and sound system make staying in tempting. Two metro stations – Nuevos Ministerios and Ríos Rosas – are steps away, placing the rest of Madrid within easy reach whenever you're ready to explore.
