In Madrid, it doesn’t more central than a two-minute stroll from Plaza Mayor – the epicentre of the city – and this apartment delivers just that. It sits on a leafy street where pavement cafés spill out for alfresco dining and boutiques are waiting to be perused. If you want to get out and explore the other famous sights of Madrid (the Prado perhaps), then the Opera metro station is just a five-minute walk away. Dating back to 1915, there are still art nouveau touches throughout the building. In the apartment itself, you’ll find stained-glass windows and vintage furniture a nod to the past. Modern artworks reminiscent of the 20th century adorn gallery-white walls and French windows open up to a Juliet balcony in the charming living room. If you’re visiting the nearby Mercado San Miguel (100 yards away) for fresh produce, you can make the most of the fully-equipped kitchen.
