Tailor-made for two, this cosy apartment drops you in the heart of the action. We love the exposed brickwork, adding a splash of character to the home, while football fans will enjoy its proximity to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Not keen on watching a game? The local streets are lined with boutiques and Madrid eateries to occupy your time. And, when you’re ready to explore further afield, the surrounding metro stations of Alfonso XIII, Cruz del Rayo and Prosperidad make hopping across the city a breeze.

Home truths

    There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.

    The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

    Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Local metro stations include Alfonso XIII, Cruz del Rayo and Prosperidad.

    Your host doesn’t accept bookings from groups of young people at this home.

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.
