Located just outside Plaza Mayor’s arches, this ideally located apartment is the perfect base for those looking to soak up Madrid's vibrant, buzzing centre.

Blending rustic charm with stylish modern accents, this home feels wonderfully Spanish. We love the exposed beamed ceilings and the wood floors, as well as the houseplants and colourful rug in the living area that add additional characterful flair.

The bedroom is elegantly pared back, offering a comfortable night’s sleep, while the dining area invites celebratory homemade tapas feasts when you’re not out sampling the local dining scene.

Our favourite spot, however, is the private balcony with its wide-sweeping views over the city’s rooftops. Enjoy an alfresco breakfast here while catching some morning rays or watch the sunset from your privileged position over an evening glass of Spanish wine.

When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, you’ll find Plaza Mayor less than a minute’s walk away, while bustling Puerta del Sol is a four-minute stroll from your door. Elsewhere, the Royal Palace of Madrid is a ten-minute walk, the famous Museo Nacional del Prado is an eighteen-minute stroll, while leafy El Retiro Park is just over twenty minutes away on foot.


Home truths:
*This home is on the fifth floor of a building with no lift, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*As you're in a wonderfully central location, you may hear some street noise with the windows open
*There's a laptop-friendly workspace
*The bedroom only has a letterbox window, so it doesn't offer much in the way of a view or natural light
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*You'll receive an in-person check-in
*There's no parking here but we recommend skipping the car and using Madrid's public transport instead – Sol station is a four-minute walk away
