With many apartments in the middle of cities, it can often be a trade-off between proximity and pleasantness. However, this home in the Quintana neighbourhood of Madrid strikes the perfect balance between the two. The design is simple but no less attractive for it — wooden floors run throughout and internal windows help keep the light flowing about. The mix of minimalist prints, house plants and washed-out furniture feel en vogue, too. When it comes to location, there are both things to see and do in the immediate vicinity — Parque El Calero can be reached in a minutes' walk — but it's just as easy to head further in the centre for the sights. It takes around twenty minutes on public transit to reach Gran Vía and Puerta de Alcalá, for example.

About Madrid

Sometimes overlooked for its coastal competition, Madrid is the beating heart of Spain in both geography and historic charm. Madrileños are welcoming and friendly but sophistication circulates the warm Iberian air. The Prado Museum draws big crowds who flock to pore over works by the Spanish masters Goya, El Greco and Velázquez. Then unwind in the 350 acres of Buen Retiro Park that was the playground of the Spanish monarchy...
