This city-centre apartment packs a colourful punch. Filled with natural light from the floor to ceiling balcony windows looking out across Chueca, the open-plan space makes a great place to spend downtime in between sightseeing. The home's open-minded and friendly neighbourhood of Chueca is the heart of Madrid – the perfect location to explore everything the capital has to offer. Some of the most sought-after sites, including the inspiring Prado Museum and El Retiro Park's boating lake, are just a fifteen-minute walk away. A short metro journey will take you to Madrid's other main attractions – we recommend the Royal Palace of Madrid, an ornate 18th-century structure, in particular. When your feet have had enough of walking and landmark-hopping for the day, pick up a bottle of Spanish wine to enjoy back at your homely apartment. In the third-floor nook, you'll be greeted by cool retro interiors and the soft hum of the city streets wafting through original French doors.

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...
