This cosy apartment is in a wonderfully convenient location, just five minutes from Puerta del Sol and eight minutes from Retiro. If your feet get tired exploring Madrid’s sights, hop on the metro – you’re just a few minutes from Antón Martin and Atocha metro stations. The apartment itself is petite but practical, though two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed. We think the location more than makes up for that though – after all, with so much on your doorstep, you won’t be lounging in bed all day.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.

Local guide
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.
