Salamanca is one of the most exclusive and glamorous districts in Madrid, filled as it is with foreign embassies and designer shops along the 'Golden Mile', and all the luxurious landmarks of the neighbourhood are waiting to be explored from this modern apartment found on the east side of the barrio. As you walk through the front door, you'll appreciate the creative spirit that has gone into decorating the space, in particular the statement lighting and the interesting collection of artwork hanging on the walls. That being said, the basics are well executed here too, including the sleek white-grey kitchen where you can easily knock up a quick bite to eat and the tasteful bedrooms, each with an en-suite. After spending days having your mind opened at the nearby museums, wandering around plazas admiring the stately buildings and dining at some of the most celebrated restaurants in the city, you'll see why this local area remains to this day one of the most coveted addresses among Madrilenians.

Home truths:
*There's a sofa bed in the living room to accommodate a fifth guest, although when it's folded out, it obstructs the way to the front door
*The front door locks shut when closed so don’t forget your keys
*There's no carbon monoxide detector at this apartment, so you will need to bring a portable one with you
