This compact apartment caught our eye with its clever design and excellent location. And while it is small, the owners have used clever styling tricks to bring ease and comfort to your city escape. It’s also worth noting there isn’t a lot of natural light here, but you will find a warm and cosy living room and bedroom – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Outside, you’ll find vibrant Malasaña on your doorstep – providing easy access to cafes, restaurants, shops and the historic square.
