Ideally located within easy walking distance of some of Madrid’s most emblematic sights, this stylish apartment not only boasts a prime locale but also offers a wonderfully comfortable base from which to experience the city to its fullest. Elegantly modern with a pared-back aesthetic, this apartment feels instantly welcoming with its neutral palette offset by soft pastel shades and an abundance of natural light. Open up the living area’s French doors to perch by their Juliet balconies with a glass of Spanish wine, or gather around the beautiful dining table for a celebratory meal when you’re not out sampling the local tapas scene. With a pair of comfortable bedrooms – one of which has a desk space – as well as luxurious rainfall showers with which to greet each day, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree city stay. Outside of your home, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to things to see and do nearby, including the Royal Palace of Madrid, Plaza Mayor, Gran Vía and lively La Latina’s myriad tapas bars and cantinas.

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.
