You’ll find this cosy apartment in Madrid’s coolest neighbourhood, Malasaña. The trendy barrio bubbles with life day and night, with retro bars, buzzing terraces and bags of history – and here you’ll be in prime position to enjoy all of it. The apartment has all you need for a stay in the city, with a spacious living room, separate kitchen, towels and toiletries – all you’ve got to do is show up and have a good time. We rather like the unique bedroom layout (both beds are in the same bedroom, but one is on a mezzanine level, accessed by ladder) and the modern aesthetic perfectly fits the area. Start your days with a morning coffee and some people watching on the nearby Plaza de Dos de Mayo before exploring some of the city’s other alternative neighbourhoods – Chueca, Conde Duque, Gran Via and Opera are all accessible on foot. After a long day of sightseeing, come back to your comfy pad to freshen up before enjoying Malasaña’s thriving bar scene.
