The Lady of Letters

While this studio apartment situated in the heart of Madrid may be small in size, it more than makes up for it in charm and comfort. An ideal base for a couple or a solo traveller, this city gem has everything to make your stay a restful one, and when it comes to exploring the many wonders the Spanish capital has to offer, you couldn’t wish for a better location as your starting point.

Enter to be greeted by a warm and welcoming space, bathed in light flooding in through the large windows which lead onto a little balcony. Overlooking a charming street of the Barrio de las Letras, this is a lovely place to sit down and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Back inside you’ll find a large sofa inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax after a day of dashing around the city – settle in for a snuggly night of movies. The bright and well-equipped kitchen will make rustling up a quick and delicious supper a breeze, and you’ll be able to savour it at the dining table.

A great added bonus is the roof terrace where you can lounge about on the comfy seats and admire the city views sprawling out before you. For a night of restful sleep, you’ll love the soft and comfy bed – and while it shares the space with the rest of the living area, the smart and elegant design means that you won’t feel cramped here.

Outside your front door, you’ll be just minutes away from the great museums, including the Reina Sofia and Museo del Prado, as well as the beautiful Retiro Park.
