Housed in an old book-bindery, this apartment is loft-style living in the heart of Madrid. You can still feel the evidence of industry in the exposed brick wall, timber-beamed ceiling and pipes and pillars on display. The double-height living area is open-plan and feels spacious with its big L-shaped sofa and dining table for six. The kitchen is separate and lets light in through old wooden windows with a Juliet balcony. Up on the mezzanine level, there’s another dining area and a day bed that acts as the perfect, quiet reading spot. The bohemian design is a perfect match for the neighbourhood. La Latina is home to Madrid’s most famous flea market and bursting with trending tapas bars and taverns, all easily reachable on foot.

About Opera y Palacio Real
The small neighbourhood of Opera y Palacio Real sits next to the Royal Palace and its grand squares with manicured gardens. It’s also home to El Teatro Royal, the grand opera house. This part of town has an abundance of space and is far less busy than other parts of central Madrid – the calmness of the area makes it popular with families.
