Home truths

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. Sections of the stairs in this home are open, so children will need to be supervised at all times.

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

    There's a dedicated office space in this apartment if you need to catch up on work during your stay.

    You'll have access to a garden space here. It's shared with the building's other residents

    Please respect neighbours and keep noise to a minimum between 11pm and 9am.

Local guide


About Atocha

When thinking of Atocha, the mammoth train station immediately comes to mind. While it’s a transport hub connecting Madrid to all others parts of Spain, its appeal lies in more than just logistics. The station itself is full of restaurants (some are the best in the area), and the sprawling streets around it will slowly lead to some of the best museums in town. Staying here will place you within walking distance of Prado, The Reina Sofia Museum, and Retiro Park.
