Grey Harlequin

This bright and colourful home boasts high-quality materials, bursts of colour in all the right places and plenty of space to play around with. Your hosts have expertly created a place that feels like home without compromising on contemporary design. We loved the funky patterned rugs and stylish furnishings. The sleek, no-fuss kitchen is equipped for light breakfasts or quick lunches – the perfect setup for adventurous types who are always on the go. When you’re ready and raring to explore, Madrid’s best bits are within easy reach of your doorstep. It’s a ten-minute walk to the leafy El Retiro Park and a little over five to the famous Gran Vía, where shops, theatres, bars and restaurants await. For trips further afield, the Chueca metro station is just 400 metres down the road.
