Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home has not one or two but four balconies to enjoy. The French windows let light flood in, allowing the array of plants, including verdant palms, to thrive, creating a homely atmosphere. There's a distinct nod to the orient here, with the custom-made bamboo panelling on the bedroom ceiling – we love the attention to detail at this place. There's a desk too for working from home and a communal gym in the building if you want to keep up your fitness regime while away. Sit at the kitchen island with some churros and a hot chocolate for breakfast before heading out to explore Madrid. Situated between the exclusive Salamanca neighbourhood and the elegant Almagro district – this apartment has a fabulous location. It's a six-minute stroll to Almagro, with its embassies, museums and upmarket eateries, while Ortega y Gasset Street, has an array of fashion boutiques, art galleries and Michelin-starred restaurants (twenty minutes on foot). It's around the same walking distance to El Retiro Park with its pretty boating lake if you fancy some green space to relax in.
