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

Modern and practical, this apartment offers an ideal base for those seeking a comfortable base in the heart of Madrid. You'll be a short walk from the iconic sights, galleries and authentic eateries, while Sol metro station is within easy reach should you feel like taking transit. This pad is perfect for those seeking a comfortable space, with a cosy living room for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. The balcony is a perk, but note that it’s only big enough to stand – that said, it’s a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine. And while the central location is what caught our eye, the street noise is something to keep in mind.

Home truths

    Your host does not accept groups of young people under the age of 18.

    At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room.

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

    We think Madrid is best explored on foot or using the easily accessible public transport links. The closest metro station is Sol.

About Puerta del Sol

Puerta del Sol is the epicentre of the city and home to Madrid’s most famous meeting point – ‘Oso y El Madroño’, the bear with the strawberry tree. The central square of this neighbourhood is quite literally where all the roads in the Iberian peninsula lead to, which means it’s really hard to get lost if this is where you want to go. This area is popular both day and night, with buskers, natives, and tourists snapping photos of some of Madrid’s most iconic sights.
