If you’re seeking a quieter location in the vibrant city of Madrid, this light-filled apartment might be for you. Located between Adelfas and Numancia, it’s not super central but easily connected to the city, with the Puente de Vallecas metro a short walk away. You can reach El Retiro and the city centre in under thirty minutes. Spread over three levels, you’ll need to climb some stairs here, though this layout is what makes it feel so open. The space is minimal but perfectly practical for remote workers and those wanting a comfortable spot to return home after a busy day of sightseeing.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

Home truths

    At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room.

    Purpose-built for rentals, this home is not the most soulful or charming space.

    This is a split-level apartment, so you'll need to climb some stairs to reach all areas.

    Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

    The closest metro station is Puente de Vallecas.

Local guide


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...
