Bright, modern and boasting incredible views over the city from its large picture windows, this apartment between Madrid’s Salamanca and Chamberí neighbourhoods is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of the city’s cultural sights. A soft muted colour palette is offset by bright pops of colour in the living area’s decorative rug and leafy houseplants, with the city just outside creating a dazzling backdrop from your ninth-floor vantage point. Make yourself at home on the comfortable sofa – a glass of Spanish wine in hand – or gather together at the table for an intimate soirée when you’re not out sampling the local tapas bars. The bedroom is a pared-back yet stylish affair with equally gorgeous views over Plaza de Colón (a three-minute walk away), while the sleek bathroom is a treat to wake up to with its tower shower that will get any day off to a relaxing start. When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, walk four minutes to visit the National Archaeological Museum or take a stroll through El Retiro Park, a thirteen-minute stroll away. You’re also a fourteen-minute walk from bustling Gran Vía – known for... its shops and striking architecture – while the famous Museo Nacional del Prado is twenty minutes on foot from your door.
