Pastel colours, modern furnishings and minimal designs create an oh-so-chic apartment in the heart of Madrid's Puente de Vallecas district. With a smart layout and plenty of leafy green plants – the space exudes light-filled energy and a wonderfully calming ambience. Sip your coffee at the breakfast bar while planning the day's adventures in the morning time and retreat back here for a glass of wine in the evening. We're particularly drawn to the stunning designs of the bathrooms, which offer a dreamy set-up for pamper sessions and getting ready for a night on the town. The perfect spot for a group of up to eight friends, this apartment boasts a convenient location just a six-minute walk away from the nearest metro station. Moreover, the well-connected public transport means you'll have Madrid at your fingertips. Hop on the bus to visit the picturesque setting of Real Jardin Botánico, for example – it's just ten minutes away. Likewise, the Paseo del Prado Boulevard can be reached by metro in thirty minutes, without changing lines. Home truths: *The apartment is located on the first floor without an elevator *Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *The host asks that you respect quiet hours between 10 pm and 8 am *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
