When we go to some places, it’s obvious that they are destined to be Plum homes. Such is the case with Cape Route. It’s a lovely flat, with an elegant aesthetic that never feels too over the top. It’s also practical – the kitchen in particular is well-equipped and seems like it could handle everything. Outside the flat is just as good – the building is newly renovated, with twenty-four-hour security (and a very cute communal courtyard), and you’re right on the border of Salamanca and Chueca, so there’s plenty to do.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About Chueca
Chueca is the epicentre of LGBT+ culture and nightlife in Madrid. By day, this bohemian neighbourhood is home to cobbled streets fringed with ochre-hued buildings, sidewalk cafes and local shops catering to the gay community. But at night, it truly comes alive – stores stay open late and the bars even later. Pelayo Street is teeming with restaurants, cocktail bars and boutiques, while Plaza de Chueca is the go-to meeting...
