Pattern on Pattern: Madrid

This city-centre apartment packs a colourful punch. Filled with natural light from the floor to ceiling balcony windows looking out across Chueca, the open-plan space makes a great place to spend downtime in between sightseeing.

The home's open-minded and friendly neighbourhood of Chueca is the heart of Madrid – the perfect location to explore everything the capital has to offer. Some of the most sought-after sites, including the inspiring Prado Museum and El Retiro Park's boating lake, are just a fifteen-minute walk away. A short metro journey will take you to Madrid's other main attractions – we recommend the Royal Palace of Madrid, an ornate 18th-century structure, in particular.

When your feet have had enough of walking and landmark-hopping for the day, pick up a bottle of Spanish wine to enjoy back at your homely apartment. In the third-floor nook, you'll be greeted by cool retro interiors and the soft hum of the city streets wafting through original French doors.

Home truths:

*The twin bedroom doesn’t have a wardrobe, so guests staying here may wish to borrow some storage space from the master bedroom
*Your host is happy for you to drop off your luggage before check-in
*This home is not suitable for infants under two years old
