The Spanish Cool

The Spanish Cool: Madrid

The central locale of this pad makes it an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of Madrid’s cultural hotspots. The Lavapiés neighbourhood is home to the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and the Reina Sofía Museum, as well as a diverse array of restaurants – though if you feel like exploring the rest of the city sights, you’re just a short walk from the metro. The apartment is modern and functional, though we think it lacks some natural light and character. That said, it’s a perfectly practical spot to base yourself between adventures.

Home truths:
*This host does not accept bookings from groups of young people.
*Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend skipping the car here. This apartment is a short stroll from Lavapiés metro station.
*Given the home's location, you may hear some street noise. Light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs.
*It's located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
*While we love the overall design of this home, it is slightly lacking in natural light. This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful space.
