La Mariposa

La Mariposa: Community of Madrid

If you’re after easy living in the heart of a cultural hotspot, this chic apartment is right for you. The building's located in Madrid’s charming and vibrant Justicia neighbourhood, albeit on a quiet street so you slip in and out of the urban hustle and bustle as and when you please.

Inside, the overarching impression is one of stylish simplicity. Muted grey walls and wooden floorings are a classy combination and work particularly well with the vintage framed artwork and modern furnishings. We're also impressed by the sleek finishes and generous amount of surface space in the minimalist kitchen — here, you can quite easily take a break from the city's restaurants for a night.

Take a glance out of the large windows in the living room and bedroom, and you're greeted with beautiful views across the city, which should inspire you to head and explore. El Retiro Park is only a fifteen-minute walk away, while there are also seven museums that can be reached in under fifteen minutes on foot. If you want to feel the wind in your hair as you get to know Madrid, there are also bikes for hire just outside the building.


Home truths:
*There's a double sofa-bed in the living space that can accommodate two guests, although the space does start to feel small at that point
*The building has a lift to reach this single-level apartment
*There's no private parking available, but there are paid car parks five minutes' walk away
*A cot can be provided if required
