The setting for this smart studio apartment is as central as it gets. You're placed just a two-minute walk from the bustling square of Puerto Del Sol, officially the centre point of Spain. The perfect spot to get your bearings on the city, you can blaze a trail to all the must-sees corners of Madrid on foot from here. Get off to a flying start at the imposing and arguably prettiest square in the city, Plaza Major – just five minutes away on foot. If you fancy hopping off the tourist trail, stroll to Madrid's emblematic Retiro Park (just fifteen minutes on foot) to join the Madrileños at one of the many open-air cafés. Surrounded by ornate fountains and scenic lakes, the bustle of the city seems a million miles away. Then dive into the surrounding streets for the local's favourite pastime, 'ir de tapas' (that's Tapas hopping to us). Back at home, while this loft-style apartment housed in a handsome 19th-century building may be studio living, we think it's rather perfectly formed. It's easy to see why guests rave about how light-filled and pristine the space feels. There's all you could need for a bolthole in the city, including a compact kitchen space for firing up the coffee pod machine and rustling up some breakfast. And a charming Juliet balcony to perch on with your morning cuppa as the streets awaken below.
