Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There's a distinctly bohemian flavour to this apartment in the Chamberí neighbourhood of Madrid. It has something to do with the earthy colour scheme, wooden furnishings, woven decorative items and abundance of house plants, which all combine together to make for an instantly relaxing space. This impression continues out in the home's impressive balcony space, which features an alfresco dining table and a shady bench that's more than comfy enough for a siesta. There's even another terrace just off the kitchen with more seating and a pleasant view of the Madrilenian rooftops. It would be remiss at this point not to point out that it's not all boho here — the kitchen and bathrooms are contemporary in style, while the large windows and glass doors make the most of the sunny days that fill the calendar in this part of Spain. The local neighbourhood is more residential than some of the city's livelier bits, but that's not to say there's not much to do nearby. Parque Bravo Murillo is less than five minutes' walk to the north and the Sorolla Museum located inside a nineteenth-century house takes only ten minutes on foot to reach.
