Sweeping city views, a communal swimming pool, and an on-site gym – there’s so much to love about this Centro apartment. And for those in the city on business, you can take your pick of two workstations when you need to catch up on emails. After a busy day taking in the local sights including the Royal Palace of Madrid, Puerto del Sol, Plaza Mayor or the Reina Sofia Museum, the private balcony is the perfect spot to end the day, sipping sangria as the sun sets.
