Saharan Hues

Saharan Hues: Madrid

A Saharan-inspired oasis in charming Madrid, this stylish apartment is an excellent place to rest your head. There's an instant feeling of comfort from the moment you walk through the door, thanks to the earth tones, natural accents and decorative elements like the rattan headboards. Every inch is inviting and warm – kick off your shoes and sprawl out on the squishy sofa for a Netflix movie night, rustle up tapas in the hunter-green kitchen whilst listening to music on the Bluetooth speakers or get down to business at the separate workspace ideal for business travellers. And we can't forget about the sun-dappled balcony, which is an absolute gem – we think it's the perfect spot to savour a glass of sangria and watch the day slowly fade.

Location-wise, this flat is a bit further from the city centre but there's still plenty to write home about – trendy eateries, sprawling green spaces and an array of museums are within walking distance. When you crave a bit more pace, jump on the metro at Ríos Rosas (just a two-minute stroll) away – you'll be basking in the buzz of Puerta del Sol in ten minutes, flat.

Home truths:
*The entrance to this apartment is shared with the building's other residents
*Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we suggest exploring on foot instead of driving – there’s a subway station only a short walk away
*Although this flat isn’t in the centre, some city noise is to be expected – we suggest bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper
*There’s a dedicated study for those needing to work from home
*All bed and bath linens are provided by the host
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
