Cool, stylish and modern, this apartment in Madrid’s Puente de Vallecas neighbourhood is an ideal spot to experience the city’s authentic, local side while still being within easy reach of the main tourist sights. Though compact, this home packs a decorative punch with contemporary, Scandi-inspired furnishings in the living room and a colourful geometric feature wall that creates a chic symmetry with the tall dining table’s chairs. Whether you’re curled up on the sofa with a good book and your morning coffee or gathering together for a meal in the sunny dining space, you’ll feel perfectly at ease in this carefully designed home. The bedroom, too, has been given a playful touch with a pretty pastel statement wall backing its comfortable bed. Factor in the bathroom’s rainfall shower and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. Outside of your home, Puente de Vallecas has a wealth of supermarkets, restaurants and bars to sample, while both El Retiro Park and the Prado Museum are just under thirty minutes away by public transport. Don’t miss visiting Tío Pío's Hill (a twenty-minute walk) at sunset too – you’re in for a treat with spectacular views over the whole of the city....

Local guide
About Madrid
Sometimes overlooked for its coastal competition, Madrid is the beating heart of Spain in both geography and historic charm. Madrileños are welcoming and friendly but sophistication circulates the warm Iberian air. The Prado Museum draws big crowds who flock to pore over works by the Spanish masters Goya, El Greco and Velázquez. Then unwind in the 350 acres of Buen Retiro Park that was the playground of the Spanish monarchy...
