Minimal and bright, this apartment offers a practical base for those looking to stay in the heart of Madrid. You'll be a short walk from El Retiro Park and Salamanca’s authentic eateries and bars, while Serrano metro station is just steps away for explorations further afield. The space is comfortable, with plenty of natural light and a laptop-friendly dining table for remote workers. And while the kitchen is a little quirky, the coffee machine is a welcome addition to morning routines. We think this home will suit those visiting for work or families with culture-packed itineraries.

Local guide
About Salamanca
Salamanca is Madrid’s most glamorous and prestigious quarter. Usually associated with aristocratic façades, wide avenues, and luxurious living (atypical for Madrid’s cosy centre), the neighbourhood attracts domestic and international elite. It’s also home to many embassies and private schools, as well as niche museums and designer boutiques along its ‘Golden Mile’. The demanding clientele has made the food scene equally exclusive, but while you’re likely to find quite a few Michelin-star restaurants in the area, there are lots of relaxed tapas bars for those less willing to splash the cash.
