Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A calm, light-filled apartment in one of Madrid's most characterful neighbourhoods, with balcony views and a record player for the evenings when you'd rather stay in. The main bedroom is restful, and air conditioning plus underfloor heating mean you're comfortable whatever the season brings. A doorman and lift make arrivals easy after a long day out. Step outside and you're within walking distance of the Prado Museum, Plaza de Santa Ana, and the lively Calle de las Huertas – with Sol and Sevilla metro stations close by for everything further afield.

Home truths
This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or need help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.
Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There is only one bathroom here shared between the two bedrooms, so if you are travelling as a group of four it is worth factoring that into your morning routine.

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.
