Home truths
You can park your car at this home, though as parking in Madrid can be tricky we recommend sticking to the city’s easily accessible public transport.
Given this home’s central location, there’s a chance you may hear some street noise here.
Bedroom two has two Murphy beds. These can be put away to use the space as an office when preferred – there’s also a desk in the living room.
While one of the bathrooms hasn’t been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.

About Lavapiés
Like many neighbourhoods on the rise, Lavapiés proudly displays its rough edges. The Times Magazine has recently included it in the 50 best neighbourhoods to live in the world, and it’s not hard to understand its appeal. It’s a melting pot of cultures, bravely experimenting with international influences. Lavapiés is full of contrast — some streets have already embraced a more luxurious vibe with chic boutiques and fusion restaurants popping up every month, while others are still filled with artistic squats and street vendors. It’s the ultimate antidote to boredom.
