Conveniently located in the heart of the trendy Chamberi neighbourhood of ever-lively Madrid, this stylish holiday apartment provides you with a well-equipped base from which to set off and discover exactly what makes the Spanish capital tick. Its fantastic location close to both the main tourist attractions, as well as the CBD of Madrid, means that this place is equally great for a romantic escape as a couple of couples, a friends' getaway to the Southern European sunshine, a business trip, a family holiday, or even a solo retreat for those looking to delve beneath the surface of this exuberant city. Spend an afternoon strolling through the elegant streets, hopping from cafe to cafe, diving into chic boutiques, and stopping for light bites as the mood takes you. Upon entering, a bright and welcoming living area greets you with a sophisticated palette of sunny yellow and sleek black, mirroring the effortlessly cool and fashion-forward feeling of the city itself. Then of course there's that inviting furnished balcony, accessible from both bedrooms and the living area, where we've already imagined ourselves reclining with a chilled glass of Sangria in hand, gazing out over the city and deciding which tapas bar we'll be...

Home truths

    At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area

    Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the breakfast bar doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace

    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

    This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected

    This building has lift access

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.
