The summary

Having a little piece of open sky all to yourself in the centre of Madrid is an almost impossible luxury to find. We open the doors to this spectacular 60 m² penthouse on the mythical Calle del Oso, in the heart of Lavapiés, whose absolute jewel is its private terrace. A space designed to go up with your first morning coffee, enjoy an aperitif in the sun and stretch out the afternoon until the light hides behind the historic rooftops of the capital.



And the best part: reaching this refuge in the heights doesn't come with endless stairs, as the building has a lift.



Both the interior, designed for the maximum comfort of up to four people, and the vibrant neighbourhood that awaits you when you cross the entrance, make this penthouse the perfect place to experience Madrid unfiltered, whether for a few days or during a longer season.



THE ACCOMMODATION



You have exclusive use of the 60 m² of the property. No shared spaces, with total privacy and designed for natural light to flow through.



Rest: An intimate and quiet master bedroom, equipped with a comfortable double bed, spacious wardrobe and dressed with high-quality cotton bedding.



Living room: A cosy space to relax after exploring the city. It has a television, high-speed wifi connection and a sturdy and very comfortable sofa bed. If four of you are coming, there's plenty of space to sleep wonderfully without bothering anyone. It also has a perfect table in case you need to connect for a couple of hours to work remotely.



Full kitchen: Forget those kitchens that only serve to heat up a coffee. Here you have a space equipped for real cooking: fridge, hob, microwave, coffee maker and carefully detailed kitchenware. Plus, it has its own washing machine, a huge bonus that you'll appreciate if you're staying for several days.



Modern bathroom: Complete and functional, with a spacious walk-in shower, hair dryer and plush towel sets for all guests.



Ideal climate control: To guarantee your wellbeing all year round, the apartment has air conditioning (essential for Madrid summers) and heating system for the cold months.



THE TERRACE (Your private oasis)



It's the definitive reason why you'll choose this penthouse. From the apartment you step directly onto a completely private outdoor terrace, decorated with a landscaped area and equipped with a dining table.



In the morning, it gives you the perfect sun for breakfast.



At midday, it invites you to sit and read or have a drink.



In the evening, it transforms into the ideal setting for dinner under Madrid's sky, surrounded by the warm lights of the neighbourhood. In a city with 300 days of sunshine a year, this corner completely changes your travel experience.



Bonus: In addition to the large terrace, you have a classic Madrid balcony that opens directly onto Calle del Oso, ideal for leaning out and feeling the pulse and bustle of neighbourhood life.



THE NEIGHBOURHOOD



Lavapiés is not just a neighbourhood, it's the most vibrant, eclectic and authentic heart of Madrid. There's no artifice here; it's the real city.

Traditional tenement buildings and age-old taverns coexist in perfect harmony with art galleries, independent theatres and the best international gastronomy restaurants (from Indian to Senegalese food).



The moment you step onto the street you have local markets, terraces and small cafés. With a beautiful stroll you'll reach the Filmoteca, the Reina Sofía Museum or La Casa Encendida. And if you stay on a Sunday, the legendary El Rastro market is just a five-minute walk away. Lavapiés is lively at the right time and peaceful when your body needs rest.



HOW TO GET AROUND



The location allows you to forget about transport for almost everything; Madrid is conquered on foot from your door:



On foot: Plaza Mayor is 850 metres away, Puerta del Sol 900 metres and the lively Plaza de Santa Ana 950 metres. In about 15 minutes' walk you'll reach the Reina Sofía, the Thyssen or the Royal Palace. If you fancy some greenery, Retiro Park is 25 minutes' walk away.



Metro and Train: Tirso de Molina station (Line 1) is 400 metres away and Lavapiés (Line 3) 450 metres. Embajadores local train station is 700 metres away. If you arrive by AVE, Atocha station is just 1.4 km away (a walk or a very short two-stop metro journey).



Airport: Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas (14 km away) is about 25-30 minutes by taxi or VTC, or easily accessible by Metro (Line 8 with a change).



Parking: Madrid city centre is protected (SER Zone). If you're coming by car, we'll be transparent with you: street parking in Lavapiés is very difficult. The smartest and most practical option is to leave your car in a nearby car park and get around on foot or by metro.
