Situated in Madrid's youngest and most diverse neighbourhood, this apartment is near lots of great cafes, vintage shops, bars and restaurants.

We particularly loved the clever use of mirrors in the kitchen, the small but sweet balcony and the typical Spanish Creole patterned stone floor in the bathroom.

Welcoming a mix of trendy locals, university students and in-the-know tourists, this area attracts those looking to move away from the more standard Madrid neighbourhoods to one with a unique, creative flair.
