What's not to love about this Madrid apartment? First, there's the bright living area with cosy seating, glossy wood floors (which are heated in the winter) and warm, bohemian accents. It's the perfect spot to kick back after a busy day exploring – just throw open the French doors for views of the bustling Calle del Almirante and let the breeze waft through the flat. We also adore the kitchen, made even better by a huge island where you can cook up a storm and socialise with a glass of wine. Add in the ultra-comfortable bedrooms, sleek bathrooms – complete with rainfall showers – and the daily cleaning, linen and towel changes, and this home is a winner. Also a big hit? The location, which has everything you'll need right on your doorstep. It's twenty minutes on foot to Palacio de Velázquez, fifteen minutes from designer shopping on Calle Serrano and just a short stroll or metro ride from downtown, but our favourite spot to visit is colourful Chueca, only a five-minute walk away. Filled with intimate sidewalk cafes, buzzing nightlife, world-class eateries and chic tapas bars, it's an excellent area to while away the evenings, getting a taste of local Spanish life.

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...
