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

We think this apartment checks all the boxes for an unforgettable Madrid getaway. The interiors are bright and modern, with a home office for the remote workers of the group. With ample room for you and your guests, you’ll look forward to hitting the hay each night in the stylish bedrooms – especially when there are two bathrooms to speed up routines. The balcony is a Juliet, so while you can’t sit out here, you can still enjoy the breeze and a glass of wine. Location-wise, you’re steps away from El Retiro Park, Puerta de Alcalá, and Museo Nacional del Prado.

Home truths

    This home is in a central spot, so some street noise is to be expected.

    The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents.

    There's a home office for remote workers here.

    Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to explore the city is on foot.

    This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.

    Please note that the building amenities such as the pool and gym may have specific hours of operation and might not be available year-round.

About Retiro

Old-school charm is the name of the game in Retiro, an elegant residential neighbourhood at heart. Its nerve centre, a sizeable park that was created as a retreat for the Royal Family, is famous for its beauty and most visited during sunny days. Its glamorous past is still visible, but nowadays El Retiro is most popular with joggers and those who want to escape the noise of the city centre...
