The Sea Change

Holiday Rental Description

This is a quirky apartment tucked behind Atocha station. The bold style decisions, including a coral photo print on the pillows, or a fish chandelier (you can see a theme forming), might not be to everyone's taste, but they certainly make this home unique. The Sea Change is comfortable, bright, and it has a balcony that's been converted into a study. Although slightly farther away from the museums, all the sights around Retiro are still accessible on foot and the area around Atocha hides tonnes of great restaurants and cafes.

Home truths:
* There are several steps leading to the elevator—those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases beware
* Although this home can accommodate seven guests, the last one will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
* It will take slightly longer to walk to the museums from this home, as you'll need to walk around Atocha station
* When we visited, we spotted some wear and tear in this home
