Mere minutes away from Puerta del Sol and many of Madrid's most sought-after attractions, this sunny apartment is best suited to those who prefer to enjoy a city break on foot. Elegantly furnished, its simple designs have been carefully selected with attention to detail and high-quality materials. We particualrly loved the serene vibe felt throughout the home which makes retreating back here after fun-filled days and nights out in the city all the more appealing. Ideal for a small family or group of friends, one of the bedrooms boasts a street view window, while the other has its own little interior patio terrace – a peaceful spot to wake up to over your morning coffee. Once you're refreshed and ready for the day – set off to explore the sights. With the likes of Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace just a five-minute walk away – there's no need to set foot on public transport when staying here.

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.
