Description Rooftop Palms: Madrid

Live like a local in this apartment in the Puente de Vallecas district. This place caught our eye due to its large roof terrace with its views over the neighbourhood’s streets. There’s room for dining and sunbathing here, while there’s a distinctly stylish Nordic aesthetic indoors. One of the beds is in the living room behind a room divider, and at full capacity, another two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the lounge too, which may not suit everyone. Though not in the centre, this area has a young vibe and good travel connections – Puerta del Sol is a direct twenty-minute metro ride away, while the Royal Palace is under thirty minutes.

Home truths:
*One double bed is in the living room, behind a folding screen
*Guests five and six would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for four guests only
*At full capacity, there’s only one bathroom, so expect a queue in the morning
*This home is in a vibrant spot, so noise may be heard
*This home has a shared entrance
*The largest transportation hub in Madrid, Atocha Station, is just five metro stops from this home
