Description Pink Pearls: Madrid

This apartment in the Malasaña district of Madrid is a true sanctuary in the city. With plenty of style and a location in one of the most exciting areas of the capital, it's the perfect place to kick back and relax between your adventures.

The pink-themed decor is chic without being too sugary sweet – think sorbet-coloured chairs and a soft, velour sofa. Uncork a bottle of Albariño wine and get comfortable after a busy day of sightseeing – you'll feel at home in no time at all. When you get hungry, you can whip up some of your favourite dishes in the kitchen to serve at the serene dining space. And, come evening, you can look forward to a fantastic night's sleep in one of the cosy bedrooms, complete with crisp white sheets.

The surrounding streets are full of bakeries, quirky bars, and vintage clothing shops that are popular with local students and visiting tourists alike. When you want to do some sightseeing, take a fifteen-minute walk over to the Royal Palace, then visit Plaza Mayor, one of the city's most famous squares. And, if you want to travel further afield, simply hop on the subway at Noviciado station – it's just three minutes away from your front door.

Home truths:
*You can use your laptop at the dining table if you need to work remotely
*If you're arriving by car then you'll need to find a local car park as this home does not have a parking space
