Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the heart of La Latina, a traditional neighbourhood in the centre of Madrid, you'll be just a few meters from Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol with this home as your base. With an open-plan kitchen and living area, plus a private courtyard terrace, it's easy to chill out between excursions here. While this home features stylish and contemporary designs, it lacks natural daylight – so it is best suited to those who intend to spend much of their time out and about in the city. It's also worth noting that the bunk beds are situated in the hallway, so we think these beds would be better suited to children.

Home truths
Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
Please note, at full capacity, two guests will sleep on the bunk beds in the hallway. These beds may be better suited to two children as this sleeping area lacks privacy.
While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light.
If you'll be arriving out of schedule, you'll need to arrange to collect the keys with the host's front office.

Local guide
About Lavapiés
Like many neighbourhoods on the rise, Lavapiés proudly displays its rough edges. The Times Magazine has recently included it in the 50 best neighbourhoods to live in the world, and it’s not hard to understand its appeal. It’s a melting pot of cultures, bravely experimenting with international influences. Lavapiés is full of contrast — some streets have already embraced a more luxurious vibe with chic boutiques and fusion restaurants popping up every month, while others are still filled with artistic squats and street vendors. It’s the ultimate antidote to boredom.
