Ideal for city explorers, this boho-chic apartment lies in the heart of Madrid. See the beauty of El Retiro Park or walk to the surrounding cafes and restaurants for a bite. There's a bus stop nearby, and Lista subway station lies ten minutes away, so you can save your legs by travelling to Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace of Madrid instead of walking. A laptop-friendly desk also makes this a good spot for work trips, but don't forget to enjoy the comfort of this home. The balcony is also a nice touch for early morning coffee with a view of the city.

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.
