It’s rare for an apartment to seamlessly blend original features with a modern design but that’s exactly what this gem at the heart of Madrid achieves. Step inside and let yourself immediately fall under the spell of this bright and cosy place – there are rays of light streaming in through the large windows and the open-plan living area is separated from the sparkling kitchen by an impressive wood feature which dates back to the home’s earliest days. Similarly, the back wall with its original bricks and wooden beams hints at the apartment’s rich history and adds to the warm ambience. Why not kick off your shoes and relax with a glass of wine or settle in for an evening of movies and conversation in the company of your family and friends. You’ll be able to rustle up quick and delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy them with your entire party at the handsome dining table. Sweet dreams will find you in the plush and luxurious bedrooms which feature comfy beds and a subtle colour palette. Awake well-rested and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee while you plan a day of exploring. Outside you'll find yourself in the very heart of Madrid, with the charming narrow streets of the Latina district awaiting you with a vast array of fantastic bars and restaurants. Home truths: *This apartment is located on the ground floor *Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot *The sofa in the living room can serve as an additional double bed *You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
