The Long and Winding Road

The Long and Winding Road: Community of Madrid

It might not be Gran Via, but Calle de Alcalá is one of Madrid's most famous thoroughfares, stretching 11.5km long from the centre of the city out to the northwest. This apartment sits on this very street and has to be one of the more stylish places to stay along the whole length.

The design is heavy on wood, both in the flooring and furnishings, and added glamour comes from the chandelier, abstract artwork and large centrepiece mirror in the living room. This space also benefits from two French doors, which, as well as bathing the space with Madrilenian sunshine, also have Juliet balconies so you can look down on the street below.

In the local area, you'll find plenty of designer shops, renowned restaurants and a couple of theatres, but if you want a burst of nature, the mighty Parque de El Retiro sits a mere four minutes' walk from the apartment.


Home truths:
*There's an elevator in the building to reach this single-level apartment
*The home has no private parking space, but Príncipe de Vergara Metro Station is only two minutes' walk away
