Ask the host anything
Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Even if the interiors in Arcticus aren’t going to set the world alight, the combination of location, amenities, space, and comfort more than makes up for the simple design. It’s kept in truly excellent condition, and the aforementioned simplicity, combined with the different greys, makes for a calming atmosphere inside. It’s just down the road from Lavapiés station, and the Reina Sofia museum is the same distance in the opposite direction.
