Description

Hello! I have a lovely spacious studio flat in a central, well-connected residential area of Madrid. The flat is on the 5th floor, with lifts/elevators. Although it is a studio, it has well-defined living, sleeping and eating areas, a large bathroom (with bath, shower and bidet) and a separate kitchen. It is suitable for a couple or two people if they are happy to share a double bed! It has a large balcony with French windows that let in lots of light. It also has air conditioning and central heating. There is wi-fi internet, washing machine and space to hang clothes out to dry. The building itself is very quiet and has a 24-hour porter.

Neighborhood

The area is quiet and safe and is popular with families and ex-pats. It is 5 minutes' walk from the nearest metro stations (4 stops from city centre) and is on at least 6 bus lines (15 minutes from city centre, buses every 2 -5 minutes) and one train line. The area is also on a direct metro line from the airport, which is only about 20 minutes away.

The neighbourhood is very well provided for and has the usual supermarkets, bread shops and post offices, as well as a significant shopping and business area within a 5-minute walk. This area includes all the major Spanish high-street fashion chains (Zara, Massimo Dutti etc.) as well as a giant El Corte Ingles (famous department store and supermarket). One of Madrid's most famous food markets is a 5-minute bus ride away. It is a 3 minute walk from the famous Santiago Bernebeu football stadium, home of Real Madrid, but the stadium is very well designed and doesn't let the noise of the games escape into the surrounding area.

It is also very safe, both at night and during the day. The area is served by an excellent night transport service should you want to sample the famous Madrid nightlife! The neighbourhood also has its own bars and restaurants, and you could have a great night out (quiet or a bit more energetic!) within a 5-minute walk from the front door.

About Us

I am a professional in my mid-twenties. I speak English, Spanish and French (in emergencies!). I have lived in Madrid for a year, but am originally from Ireland. I live in this flat alone, but may do the house swap with a friend. I have no pets because they are strictly prohibited in the contract, but I am happy to care for your pets (within reason!) if you have any.
