Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Madrid is the vibrant, beating heart of Spain where wine bar chatter runs long into the night and the handsome streets are packed with galleries and museums. This apartment, in soothing neutral tones, is a haven away from the hubbub. Set around an internal courtyard, bedrooms are blissfully quiet. The master is a medley of candyfloss and dusky pink with a simple raw wood bed frame adding a boho touch. The bright living room with its big window can be set up as a social space for dining and hanging out on the sofa, or as a third bedroom with a Murphy bed folding down. You’re in the cultural heart of Madrid here, a ten-minute walk to the world-famous Prado museum and beautiful botanic gardens, and twelve minutes to Plaza Mayor.

Home truths
This home doesn't really have a big enough living room for all guests to socialise comfortably
There's not a lot of wardrobe space so it's best suited for short city breaks
Although this home can accommodate up to ten guests, the last two will be sleeping on a Murphy bed in the living room and four would share across bunk beds and twins in the second bedroom
There is no step-free access to this flat – those with large suitcases or limited mobility beware
There is no parking but it's so central you shouldn't need a car

Local guide
About Lavapiés
Like many neighbourhoods on the rise, Lavapiés proudly displays its rough edges. The Times Magazine has recently included it in the 50 best neighbourhoods to live in the world, and it’s not hard to understand its appeal. It’s a melting pot of cultures, bravely experimenting with international influences. Lavapiés is full of contrast — some streets have already embraced a more luxurious vibe with chic boutiques and fusion restaurants popping up every month, while others are still filled with artistic squats and street vendors. It’s the ultimate antidote to boredom.
