Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this gorgeous flat situated in Chamberí, a genuinely local neighbourhood known for its vibrant culinary scene. This is a prime spot for those wanting to experience authentic Madrid – picture traditional tapas bars, thriving markets and Madrilenian architecture. Although it's a bit further from the landmarks – about a twenty-six-minute walk to Plaza Mayor and thirty to Parque de El Retiro – San Bernardo subway station is right around the corner, so you'll be well-connected when you don't feel like walking. Back at home, the serene and soothing design is complimented by handcrafted furniture, amber-hued accessories and colourful tiles that add some quintessential Spanish flair. Between the Bluetooth speakers and Netflix, you'll be well-entertained during chill nights at home – just sink into the sumptuous sectional and rest weary legs after – while the desk space is perfect for those needing to work from home. But the star of the show is the stunning, sun-drenched terrace – the cushy outdoor sofa and romantic two-seater table are excellent spots to savour a cup of coffee and a glass of sangria in the endless rays.
