Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
As far as studio apartments go, this one ticks a lot of boxes. Bright, practical and cleverly designed with a glass divider between the living and sleeping areas, there’s a lot to like about this pocket-sized space. While the practical, contemporary decor may not be the most inspiring, it’s a cheerful base to rest and regroup between sightseeing adventures. Speaking of which, you’re spoilt for choice as far as exploring goes from this central spot, with Gran Vía a five-minute walk away and Chueca’s tapas bars, vibrant nightlife and buzzing markets ten minutes away on foot.
