Style and comfort go hand in hand in this stylish central Madrid apartment, where your hosts have taken a great deal of care to create a lovely space that's an absolute pleasure to spend time in. The living room is set out by two sets of French doors that can be opened up on warm evenings to let the city's vibrant atmosphere drift in on the breeze. Here you'll find a hefty coffee table made from gnarled wood and highly polished steel that exemplifies what this home is all about. In the adjacent space, you'll find a small but perfectly formed kitchen that's more than capable of handling anything you can throw at/over it. Set back from the road, the bedroom offers a relaxing haven to retire to at the end of a busy day, complete with eye-catching artwork and natural light to ensure a gentle wake-up call each morning. Down at street level, Alonso Martínez serves as a link between different neighbourhoods. Here, you'll find plenty of independent boutiques and family-run restaurants serving people from all walks of life. With upmarket Salamanca to the east, magnificent Chamberí in the north, and Tribunal and Chueca south, you're well situated to explore... the well-heeled side of the city.

About Chamberí
Chamberi is a residential area in the Northern part of central Madrid. It used to be populated by aristocrats, which gives it its unique look and feel. It’s a cultural hub that defies conventional tourist expectations, with lots of quirky attractions – start at the Sorolla Museum and make your way to the old Chamberí metro station that’s been turned into a transport museum.
