Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Bright and contemporary, we think this open-plan studio is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple craving a stay in Madrid. With a stylish bathroom, walk-in closet and huge windows that let you wake up with a direct view of the city, the clever layout compartmentalises the space in a way that opens up the room and fills it with light. Relax on the cosy sofa with a glass of Spanish vino and your favourite Netflix show, rustle up some tapas and light bites in the sleek kitchen or snuggle up on the comfortable bed with a book after a long day exploring – whatever you get up to, we know you'll be happy to call this pad home. And speaking of exploring, this locale is right in the heart of the city, with many of the must-see sights a short stroll away. Ritzy Salamanca is ideal for high-end shopping and fine dining (stroll down the Golden Mile or grab a bite at Platea food court, five minutes away), while leafy Parque del Retiro is an excellent spot to bask in the morning sunshine. Museums, restaurants and monuments are all within walking distance, but if your feet need a break, hop on the metro – both Colón and Recoletos stations are right around the corner.

Home truths
The home is on the 11th floor
A third guest can sleep on a pull-out bed, but we think this flat is better for a couple or solo traveller
The king bed can be separated into two singles on request
The kitchenette is small and won't impress avid cooks – we think it's best for light bites
The air conditioning unit is a bit noisy when it's working at a maximum setting – it runs from May, while the heating is on all winter
We found a few scuff marks and peeling paint when we visited
This flat is in an apartment building and has no private entrance, but guests will be able to self check-in on arrival
The central location lends itself to noise
No parking is provided but a car isn't necessary here

About Chueca
Chueca is the epicentre of LGBT+ culture and nightlife in Madrid. By day, this bohemian neighbourhood is home to cobbled streets fringed with ochre-hued buildings, sidewalk cafes and local shops catering to the gay community. But at night, it truly comes alive – stores stay open late and the bars even later. Pelayo Street is teeming with restaurants, cocktail bars and boutiques, while Plaza de Chueca is the go-to meeting...
