Surrounded by artisan coffee shops and boutique art galleries, this apartment sits on a vibrant street in the heart of Malasaña and the eclectic interior design almost seems like a homage to the creative neighbourhood. The opulent sofa with the titular mural wouldn't be out of place in a local design shop, and neither would the dining table with the wooden hand chairs or the disused scooter display. Before accusations of wackiness get thrown about, we'd like to point out that the basics are done very well too. The high ceilings, walls painted in angelic white and washed-out parquet flooring combine to amp up the brightness, while the en-suite bathrooms all feel super-sleek, too. The location also deserves its fair share of praise. Some of Madrid's big-hitters are nearby — the Palace and Cathedral can be reached in fifteen minutes on foot, for example — while the shops and notable architecture of Gran Vía are only five minutes' walk away as well.
