With exposed wooden beams, brickwork, and original stone flooring, Shakti is a beautiful example of an industrial home. La Latina serves a perfect backdrop with its bohemian streets and intimate cafes, making this home a great choice for those who want to stay in a vibrant part of the city. Every corner is filled with unique objects from all over the world, making it a pleasure to explore. The bathroom looks slightly older although it was recently reformed and might not be to everyone's taste. However, it's immaculate and well-maintained.

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.
