To stay at this stylish home-from-home in the heart of bustling Atocha is to discover the rich history of Madrid. Inside the apartment, think vibrant pops of colour, abstract art, and sleek furnishings on a white-walled and light wooden floor canvas. It's the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of something nice after a day roaming the paved streets and ambling around the traditional plazas. Bright and roomy, the living space is bathed in natural light while the open-plan layout creates a sociable area to catch up with friends. Likewise, it's a lovely spot to doze off in the afternoon, siesta-style. When your batteries are recharged, explore the surrounding area — the grand Parque de El Retiro is just around the corner from your front door, while there are plenty of museums, galleries and noble buildings that can be reached easily on foot. Whether you're perusing historical sights, tasting local delicacies, or simply getting away from it all, you're sure to fall head-over-heels for this neighbourhood.

Local guide
About Atocha
When thinking of Atocha, the mammoth train station immediately comes to mind. While it’s a transport hub connecting Madrid to all others parts of Spain, its appeal lies in more than just logistics. The station itself is full of restaurants (some are the best in the area), and the sprawling streets around it will slowly lead to some of the best museums in town. Staying here will place you within walking distance of Prado, The Reina Sofia Museum, and Retiro Park.
