In a convenient spot near the city centre, this home is a short walk from the Puerto del Sol and the Thyssen art museum. Set on a traditional, narrow street, it's surrounded by great restaurants and top shopping destinations.

Perfect for a family or a few friends sharing, it boasts a very well kitted-out kitchen area, a dining table for four and a cosy sofa area, with two good-sized bedrooms and plenty of storage for your things.
