Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This contemporary and inviting apartment in the leafy neighbourhood of Moncloa-Aravaca is perfect for a family or a group of friends. The apartment's location is ideal for exploring the vibrant city of Madrid, with easy access to Casa de Campo, Zoo Aquarium de Madrid, and Parque de Atracciones de Madrid. Although the apartment may be a bit tight for all eight guests, and the third-bedroom bunks are better suited to children, it offers two bathrooms and a large open-plan living space, making for a comfortable base. With excellent transport links to the rest of the city via the nearby Guzman el Bueno metro station, this pad is the perfect home for your Madrid adventures.

Home truths

    We recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport. The closest metro is Guzmán el Bueno, just a few steps away.

    Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

    This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.

    While we love the overall design of this home, the bedrooms are lacking in natural light. We think the third bedroom's bunk beds are best suited to children. And at full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
