A 60 m² penthouse on Calle del Oso, in the heart of Lavapiés, with something very difficult to find in central Madrid: a private terrace just for you. Perfect for breakfast in the sun, having an aperitif or dining al fresco as the evening falls over the neighbourhood's rooftops.
And no stairs to climb: the building has a lift.
It can accommodate up to four people and is suitable for both short getaways and longer stays in the city.
THE APARTMENT
The 60 m² are for your exclusive use, with no shared areas and plenty of natural light.
Bedroom: quiet and peaceful, with a double bed, spacious wardrobe and high-quality cotton bedding.
Living room: comfortable and welcoming, with television, high-speed wifi and a robust, very comfortable sofa bed, ideal if you're travelling as four. It also has a desk where you can work remotely for a while if needed.
Kitchen: equipped for proper cooking, with fridge, hob, microwave, coffee maker and complete kitchenware. Additionally, the apartment has its own washing machine, very practical if you're staying for several days.
Bathroom: complete and modern, with a spacious shower tray, hairdryer and towels for all guests.
Climate control: air conditioning for Madrid's summer and heating for the cold months.
THE TERRACE
This is what makes this penthouse special. You step out directly from the apartment onto a completely private outdoor terrace, with a landscaped area and dining table.
In the morning, sunshine for breakfast. At midday, a spot to read or have a drink. In the evening, the ideal place to dine al fresco with the neighbourhood lights all around. With Madrid's more than 300 days of sunshine a year, you'll make the most of it.
And also: a classic Madrid balcony overlooking Calle del Oso, where you can lean out and watch the life of the neighbourhood.
LAVAPIÉS
Lavapiés is one of Madrid's most authentic, multicultural and lively neighbourhoods. Traditional corralas and long-established taverns coexist with art galleries, independent theatres and restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world, from Indian to Senegalese.
When you leave the building you have neighbourhood markets, terraces and cafés. Walking around you can reach the Filmoteca, the Reina Sofía Museum or La Casa Encendida. On Sundays, El Rastro is about five minutes' walk away. It's a neighbourhood with atmosphere when you want it and peaceful when you need to rest.
LOCATION AND TRANSPORT
From here you can explore almost all of Madrid on foot:
Walking: Plaza Mayor 850 m away, Puerta del Sol 900 m away and Plaza de Santa Ana 950 m away. You can reach the Reina Sofía, the Thyssen or the Royal Palace in about 15 minutes, and the Retiro Park in 25 minutes.
Metro and train: Tirso de Molina (line 1) 400 m away and Lavapiés (line 3) 450 m away. Embajadores local train station is 700 m away and Atocha (AVE) is 1.4 km away, a walk or two metro stops.
Airport: Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport is 14 km away, about 25-30 minutes by taxi or VTC. You can also get there by metro on line 8 with one change.
Car: the centre is a SER zone and street parking in Lavapiés is very difficult. If you're coming by car, the most convenient option is to leave it in a nearby public car park and get around on foot or by metro.
