Located in the oldest and most beautiful neighbourhood of Madrid, between Plaza Mayor, Plaza de la Cebada and Calle Toledo. The area has been gentrified, boasts many tourist attractions, and specialises in authentic tapas and a wonderful ambience. The building is close to everything, ensuring guests enjoy an unforgettable experience.
The apartment is located in one of the most typical, authentic and beautiful buildings of the whole city. It has been refurbished but also retains the original design of the period, with wooden beams and a wide staircase, also made from wood. The building does not have a lift as the owners preferred not to taint the ambience and style, and is today considered a hidden gem.
The apartment:
It is simply marvellous. It is large, spacious, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a splendid combined dining and living room after the hall, with large windows looking out over Calle Cava Baja, allowing guests to enjoy the ambience of Madrid. The bedrooms are located towards the other side of the hall. Two are separated by a thick and opaque curtain which provides privacy. The master bedroom is located at the end of the hallway, through the inner courtyard near the kitchen and the dining room. It is enormous, with a large double bed, an en suite bathroom, and a large built-in wardrobe—surely the envy of all!
The apartment has been decorated exquisitely, in the purest of modern vintage styles. An absolute delight!

Latina
The neighborhood of La Latina is known as the Austrian or the Habsburg Madrid, it is the oldest part of town, the medieval and Renaissance Madrid. Its name comes from the Austrian Habsburg dynasty, which reigned in Spain until 1700 and to which belongs to the important kings Philip II and Carlos I. The zone incorporates the small streets around the Calle Mayor, the Plaza de la Villa, where you find the City Council, the plaza de la Paja and the Plaza Mayor.
This neighborhood has a charm that makes it a favorite of both tourists and the local people of Madrid. It is one of the neighborhoods that provides the richest sense of authenticity and the real identity of Madrid. It is also surrounded, without the need for long journeys, with a long list of museums, cinemas, theaters and emblematic monuments where you can experience the culture of Madrid, both rich and varied. A mere two minutes walk from the emblematic sites of Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, Royal Palace, the Gran Via and the Retiro Park. The metro station in La Latina is at the heart of this neighborhood, making it the most efficient and easy way of getting to the area particularly due to its high traffic and busy pedestrian streets.
From the Iglesia de San Francisco el Grande you can go all the way to the Carrera de San Francisco. The Plaza San Andrés is dominated by the dome of the chapel of San Isidro, which houses the museum of the same name. The museum shows much of the history of Madrid, from its beginnings as a fortress to its birth as a Muslim metropolis.
