Stylishly modern, this apartment just a seven-minute stroll from Plaza de España is an ideal base for those looking for a comfortable stay within easy reach of Madrid’s most celebrated sights. Wood floors, contemporary furnishings and a glossy white finish create a strikingly fashionable welcome in the open-plan living area. We love the carefully chosen ornaments that give the space plenty of character – like the shiny copper coffee table, the freestanding lamp, as well as the assortment of throw pillows on the plump sofa. Kick back with a glass of Spanish wine after a long day of sightseeing, or if you have work to catch up on, you’ll find a desk space here ready to make working from home a breeze. The chic breakfast bar invites sociable mornings over fresh coffee and locally bought pastries, while the bedroom, tucked behind a fringe curtain beckons a restful night’s sleep. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty of cultural hotspots within easy walking distance, including Gran Vía (nine minutes), the Royal Palace of Madrid (ten minutes), the ancient Egyptian Temple of Debod (also ten minutes), and Plaza Mayor (eighteen minutes).

Local guide
About Opera y Palacio Real
The small neighbourhood of Opera y Palacio Real sits next to the Royal Palace and its grand squares with manicured gardens. It’s also home to El Teatro Royal, the grand opera house. This part of town has an abundance of space and is far less busy than other parts of central Madrid – the calmness of the area makes it popular with families. You’ll find high-end local shops to peruse, as well as excellent restaurants, in this refined and sedate neighbourhood.
