A calming neutral palette and stylish Japandi decor make this apartment in Madrid’s eclectic Puente de Vallecas neighbourhood a prime choice for those looking to get an authentic taste of the city. Whether you’re chilling out on the sofa and window-side chair with your morning coffee and a good book or gathering around the large dining table for a homemade tapas feast, you’ll love spending time in this chic, sunny main room. The bedroom has also been carefully curated for serene relaxation with its comfortable bed, cool abstract art prints and soothing white and pink colour scheme, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower is sure to get any day off to a luxurious start. Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to sample on your doorstep, while El Retiro Park – a twenty-five-minute walk away – beckons sunny picnics and afternoon ambles aplenty. We also recommend making a beeline for Tío Pío's Hill – a twenty-minute stroll away – for breathtaking views over the city, best enjoyed at sunset.

Local guide
About Atocha
When thinking of Atocha, the mammoth train station immediately comes to mind. While it’s a transport hub connecting Madrid to all others parts of Spain, its appeal lies in more than just logistics. The station itself is full of restaurants (some are the best in the area), and the sprawling streets around it will slowly lead to some of the best museums in town. Staying here will place you within walking distance of Prado, The Reina Sofia Museum, and Retiro Park.
