City of Joy

City of Joy: Community of Madrid

Sitting in the heart of the Chueca neighbourhood, this apartment perfectly embodies the diverse and creative spirit of its environment. From the art and furnishings to the calming colours and eclectic design, the owners have styled this space to feel like a restorative city sanctuary. So whether you’re here with an action-packed plan or for a spontaneous adventure, you’ll find it easy to settle in and make it your own.

Enjoy a slow morning coffee on the sofa, embrace a lazy afternoon siesta in the air-conditioned bedrooms and gather for a delicious selection of tapas around the table. And if you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll find an abundance of restaurants and bars on your doorstep, including Mercado San Antón – just a four-minute walk away.

From here, days can be spent wandering the vibrant central streets, browsing independent shops, sightseeing, sipping drinks in street-side cafes and enjoying magical strolls through nearby Parque de El Retiro – just a fifteen-minute walk away.

Home truths:
*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 *Please note there are no windows providing natural light in the living room *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *You'll need to bring your own toiletries with you to use during your stay *This is a central location, so noise is to be expected
