Why do we love Madrid's upscale Salamanca neighbourhood? For starters, it's where you'll find the city's coolest restaurants, the best shopping and the trendiest bars. It's also close to many of Madrid's must-see sights, including Parque de El Retiro, The Golden Mile and the Museo Nacional del Prado. And this apartment is in the very centre of this fashionable area, only a few steps away from Velázquez metro station. When you're not out exploring the designer boutiques, mouth-watering eateries and antique shops on your doorstep, come home to this sleek flat for a little rest and relaxation. Laid-back and minimal, the bright pops of colours on the throw cushions and rugs are sure to put a smile on your face. Sprawl out on the sofa with a glass of cava, rustle up dinner in the kitchen or curl up with a book in the rattan chairs. There's even a desk for working remotely and lavish rainfall showers for rinsing off after a long day. When you grow sleepy, retreat to the bedrooms for some shut-eye and wake up ready for adventure. Home truths: *The single bed in the third bedroom is rather small and best suited for a child *This home is located in a central spot, so it may get noisy *If needed, the bar-style table can be used as a laptop-friendly workspace *No parking is provided, but a car isn't necessary in Madrid – there are multiple metro stations nearby *This flat is in an apartment building with a shared entrance *There is an elevator but you'll need to climb about seven steps to reach it
