In the stately, residential neighbourhood of Chamberi, this zen apartment is the perfect respite from the bustling streets of Madrid. The sunny terrace comes with a hammock and boho throws for an evening on the outdoor sofa. A bistro set for two means sundowners with a view over Madrid’s rooftops. This place effuses cool from the vinyl collection and record player by the big nest chair, to rows and rows of matte white ceramics by the hand-made wooden desk. The dining table is set for four, and a fold-away window separates the kitchen, so cooking can be a social affair, or a solitary moment of creativity. Both bedrooms are super stylish in natural terracotta and burnt orange tones, but the master clinches it with its iron four-poster draped with cotton. The neighbourhood itself is a dignified mesh of museums, galleries, flamenco bars and tapas restaurants spilling out into squares.
