Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
They say a good apartment is all about location and this one offers a stylish retreat in the heart of Madrid. We love how the bedroom wall slides open to a casual living area, where the dining table doubles up as a cosy window seat. While there's no outside space, houseplants help to bring nature indoors, though the city is your real terrace, putting diverse restaurants on your doorstep. Fancy sightseeing? Stroll to Lista train station and tick the best museums and landmarks off your itinerary.
