Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This snug apartment is the perfect hideaway for four in the heart of Madrid. Both bedrooms occupy different levels and each has its own en-suite – an ideal arrangement for groups looking for a bit more separation and privacy. Though it'll be a squeeze to fit everyone on the sofa (that'll depend on how comfortable you are with your co-guests), the addition of a breakfast bar means there's just enough space for quick meals at home before stepping out. And with top sights practically on your doorstep – the Museo del Prado and the Royal Botanic Garden are just a fifteen-minute walk away – you'll hardly want to spend your days indoors.

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.
