It doesn’t get any more central than the location of this stunning duplex apartment, which is an ideal base for those wanting to sample all that this vibrant city has to offer. Step through the front door to be welcomed by a lovely living area, bathed in streams of natural light flooding in through the large windows. You’ll find yourself immediately seduced by the charm of this place – the comfy furnishings will tempt you to kick off your shoes and spend the afternoon lounging about and admiring all the unique details. We love the beamed ceilings and the statement brick wall which lends the apartment its warm and elegant ambience. Rustle up quick and delicious meals in the bright open-plan kitchen and enjoy them with your loved ones at the dining table or better still at the sun-kissed roof terrace overlooking the ancient rooftops of the old town. This is also the perfect spot to welcome the day with a cup of coffee in the morning while you plan the day’s excursions. Factor in the plush bedrooms which carry the promise of restful sleep and luxurious bathrooms and we think you’ll have everything covered for a perfectly restful stay.... Outside your door, you’ll find yourself in the best possible spot for exploring the city – allow yourself to get lost in all the magic on offer around every corner.

Local guide
About Lavapiés
Like many neighbourhoods on the rise, Lavapiés proudly displays its rough edges. The Times Magazine has recently included it in the 50 best neighbourhoods to live in the world, and it’s not hard to understand its appeal. It’s a melting pot of cultures, bravely experimenting with international influences. Lavapiés is full of contrast — some streets have already embraced a more luxurious vibe with chic boutiques and fusion restaurants popping up every month, while others are still filled with artistic squats and street vendors. It’s the ultimate antidote to boredom.
