If you’re looking for a place to rest your head that offers you a taste of the true Spanish lifestyle, this apartment is for you. Nestled away in Puente de Vallecas, you’ll find yourself surrounded by history, art, and of course, a great selection of restaurants and bars. Not only that, getting to the centre of Madrid is a breeze. Sometimes, simplicity speaks volumes, and that’s what we love about this home. It’s clean, modern and classy, and the pops of ochre tie all the different areas together. Whether you’re visiting with friends or family, it’s the perfect place to retreat to at the end of the day. Nominate a cook, and while they’re perfecting their paella in the kitchen, everyone else can gather around and recap on all the amazing things the day offered, without anyone missing out on the action. As the sound of chatter and laughter fills the air, sip on some sangria and appreciate some downtime with those you love. When it’s time to tear yourself away from the comfort of this home, you’ll find almost everything on your doorstep. Dine out and enjoy some Spanish cuisine, or take in some of the city’s history with Paseo... del Prado and Plaza del Sol just a metro ride away from this relaxing retreat.

Local guide
About Atocha
When thinking of Atocha, the mammoth train station immediately comes to mind. While it’s a transport hub connecting Madrid to all others parts of Spain, its appeal lies in more than just logistics. The station itself is full of restaurants (some are the best in the area), and the sprawling streets around it will slowly lead to some of the best museums in town. Staying here will place you within walking distance of Prado, The Reina Sofia Museum, and Retiro Park.
