With its industrial loft-style layout and myriad artworks, this chic apartment in Madrid’s Chueca neighbourhood is ideal for those looking for a central, characterful stay in the city. We love the openness of this home with the living room boasting French doors that give way to Juliet balconies – ideal for sipping your coffee in the morning while taking in views of the hustle and bustle below. Catch up on work at the cool wooden desk space or kick back on the sofa while listening to some tunes on the record player. The modern kitchen is dazzlingly sleek, creating a funky juxtaposition with its beamed ceilings and rustic dining table that beckons celebratory meals over Spanish wine and tapas. The bedroom, meanwhile, is calm and elegant with a muted palette that will ease you into a restful night’s sleep ahead of a day of sightseeing. Speaking of exploring, you couldn’t be better placed to see some of Madrid’s most iconic sights, including Gran Vía for its stellar shopping (a three-minute walk), El Retiro Park (a twenty-minute walk), the Royal Palace of Madrid (also a twenty-minute walk) and Plaza Mayor (a thirteen-minute walk).
