Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This contemporary open-plan apartment has everything you need to enjoy your stay in the heart of Madrid's illustrious Salamanca district. With luxurious furnishings and plenty of style, you'll fit right in with your surroundings. From the moment you step through the door, you'll immediately feel a sense of space thanks to the layout, which has been cleverly subdivided with shelving units and furniture to create rooms within a room. This works perfectly for up to four guests, with everyone able to come together to socialise or find a corner to claim as their own if they want to get lost in the pages of a good book. Outside, the neighbourhood is well known for its wide tree-lined boulevards flanked by characterful nineteenth-century buildings. When you're not admiring the architecture, you'll find charming coffee spots, innovative international restaurants and plenty of designer boutiques. For a culture hit, there are a number of fascinating museums and beautiful galleries just a short stroll away. For anyone looking for a break from the bustling streets, Parque de El Retiro is just a few minutes from your front door.
