Stays in this authentic and colourful part of Madrid don't get much better than this smart apartment. Filled with natural light from the trio of Juliet balconies to the front, it's packed with character and combines designer furniture with bold pieces of modern art. With an open-layout living room at its heart, you'll have the period charm you'd expect in this city, as well as all the modern comforts you could need. After a day of sightseeing and shopping (Tabacalera, Casa Encendida and the Reina Sofia Museum are all less than a ten-minute walk), there are plenty of exciting bars and restaurants on your doorstep – as well as the lively San Fernando Market. And while it's the perfect size for a small family, it also boasts a study if you're here to work.

Local guide
About Lavapiés
Like many neighbourhoods on the rise, Lavapiés proudly displays its rough edges. The Times Magazine has recently included it in the 50 best neighbourhoods to live in the world, and it’s not hard to understand its appeal. It’s a melting pot of cultures, bravely experimenting with international influences. Lavapiés is full of contrast — some streets have already embraced a more luxurious vibe with chic boutiques and fusion restaurants popping up every month, while others are still filled with artistic squats and street vendors. It’s the ultimate antidote to boredom.
