Blending timber frames with sleek, contemporary furnishings, this handsome apartment in Madrid’s lively La Latina neighbourhood is an ideal base for those looking to soak up the best of Madrilenian life. We love how shades of natural brown sit alongside elegant neutral notes here, while ample natural light pours in through the French doors in the living room. Open these up to enjoy the breeze as you kick back on the sofa with a glass of Spanish red, or perch by the Juliet balcony with your evening tipple as you people-watch from your privileged position. The dining table beckons sociable evenings over homemade dinners when you’re not out sampling the local tapas hangouts, while the bedrooms offer a comfortable night’s sleep leaving you feeling ready and relaxed for another day of exploring. Speaking of sightseeing, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, not least of all your own neighbourhood’s maze of narrow lanes filled with tapas bars and cantinas. Elsewhere, Plaza Mayor is a ten-minute walk, the Royal Palace of Madrid is a fifteen-minute stroll, while the world-famous Museo Nacional del Prado is twenty minutes away on foot.

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.
