Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Sitting in the heart of Malasaña-Universidad, one of Madrid's most vibrant central neighbourhoods, this apartment puts the city's best squares and restaurants right on your doorstep. Up on the rooftop, a shared pool and terrace deliver open-sky views above the city – a strong argument for lingering after a day out. Back inside, the living room and kitchen are calm and considered, and one bedroom doubles as a decent workspace if you're travelling for work. A record player rounds off the evenings nicely.
