This sophisticated apartment piqued our interest for its gorgeous interior, excellent size and even better location. Decked out in shades of sandy creams, dark greys and sleek blacks, the style combines monochrome minimalism with natural, earthy pieces, creating a truly one-of-a-kind spot in the middle of Madrid. Not only are the colours reminiscent of a tranquil mountainside escape, but every inch of this apartment has been carefully curated for ultimate relaxation. A vinyl player in the living room sets the mood, a smart TV with Netflix ensures a cosy night at home and the numerous Juliet balconies show off the neighbourhood and flood each room with light. From the kitchen stocked with cookware to the desks and workspaces, this home is suited to pretty much everyone – and with four bedrooms, there's more than enough space to spread out. Best of all is the excellent location – it's smack-dab in the heart of Chueca, a neighbourhood celebrated for its lively culture and thriving arts scene. An array of restaurants, bars and nightlife are on your doorstep and many of the must-see sights are within walking distance, including Plaza Mayor (a twenty-minute stroll) and Parque de El Retiro (thirteen minutes on foot). And with Chueca metro station a mere one-minute walk from the apartment, you won't have trouble getting around the rest of the city.
