A loft layout with real character – the high ceilings and two-level design give this Madrid apartment a sense of volume you don't often find. The main bedroom sits on the lower level for privacy, while the mezzanine above works brilliantly for those who don't mind sleeping among the action. A wall bed folds into the living area when you need it, keeping the space feeling open until you don't. Outside, Madrid Río – one of the city's most-loved riverside parks – is right on the doorstep, putting long walks and easy mornings within immediate reach.

Home truths

  • At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the Murphy bed in the living area.

  • The mezzanine sleeping area is open to the main living space below, so noise and light from the living area will carry up to those beds – worth thinking about if you have mixed schedules in your group.

  • If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.

  • Upon arrival, you'll need to pick up the keys from your host's office.

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.
