Home truths
This home is laid out across one floor with no internal stairs, inside a building with lift access
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
The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents
This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected
Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace

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.
