Situated a stone’s throw from Madrid’s Royal Palace and surrounded by the narrow streets of La Latina, this charming duplex apartment is the perfect place to base yourself while you’re exploring all the wonders that this city has to offer. From the cosy attic bedroom you’ll be able to admire the breathtaking views over the roofs of the old town, while the living area on the lower level invites you to kick off your shoes and relax after a long day of dashing about the city. We love the wooden ceiling, along with its beams and stylish light fixtures, adding to the warm and pleasant ambience. While this space is compact there is enough room to feel comfortable. You’ll be able to whip quick and delicious snacks in the well-equipped kitchenette and enjoy them at the elegant dining table. This can also serve as a great spot to catch up on any work you might have to do during your stay. Outside your cosy nest, you’ll find yourself right in the heart of Madrid, with most of its iconic sights within walking distance. If you feel like staying local, La Latina has got you covered with a wide range of... dining and entertainment options.

Home truths
This apartment is located on the fourth floor accessible by lift
This is a duplex apartment, you'll need to climb steps to reach the bedroom level
The bedroom is located in the attic - you'll need to mind your head
Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace

Local guide
About Opera y Palacio Real
The small neighbourhood of Opera y Palacio Real sits next to the Royal Palace and its grand squares with manicured gardens. It’s also home to El Teatro Royal, the grand opera house. This part of town has an abundance of space and is far less busy than other parts of central Madrid – the calmness of the area makes it popular with families. You’ll find high-end local shops to peruse, as well as excellent restaurants, in this refined and sedate neighbourhood.
