In the historic centre of Madrid, this pristine apartment puts you within striking distance of the main plazas and shopping streets of the Spanish capital. The famous Plaza Mayor is a seven-minute walk, considered the beating heart of Madrid and Opera Square is five minutes away on foot. In the surrounding streets, you’ve got myriad tapas joints, wine bars and fine-dining restaurants to fill your evenings. This apartment’s historic building is in keeping with its pretty surroundings. An avant-garde-style entrance hall greets you on arrival and just beyond this, the living room is big and bright, courtesy of classic-style windows. There’s dining for the whole group around the antique oak table and the living area is decked out with all mod cons, including a PS4, for evenings in. Should you need to work remotely, the dedicated office room has video calls covered.

Local guide
About Puerta del Sol
Puerta del Sol is the epicentre of the city and home to Madrid’s most famous meeting point – ‘Oso y El Madroño’, the bear with the strawberry tree. The central square of this neighbourhood is quite literally where all the roads in the Iberian peninsula lead to, which means it’s really hard to get lost if this is where you want to go. This area is popular both day and night, with buskers, natives, and tourists snapping photos of some of Madrid’s most iconic sights.
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
Eat, shop, walk and explore Plaza Mayor
With some of the most emblematic sights of Madrid, Plaza Mayor should be the first thing to see on your list.

Locally recommended, La Bola is a typical Spanish restaurant that has had its doors open for more than 150 years.
Visit the Convent of las Descalzas Reales
Rich widows and unmarried daughters used to bring their dowries when they joined, and it was forbidden to sell or display such treasures. Visit the few remaining nuns and curiosities.

Get up close with the royals at Palacio Real

Indulge in churros at San Ginés
Churros in Madrid are almost compulsory. We recommend San Ginés, one of the oldest chocolate shops in the city.
Catch a musical at Lope de Vega Theatre
Although this theatre was used as a cinema for many years, it lead the conversion of Gran Via into Madrid's Broadway. A one-stop-shop for a great night out.
