Description Brick Rose: Madrid

This studio apartment in the heart of Madrid may be on the smaller side, but it's packed with plenty of character. We love how the quirky interior nods to the area's history – particularly the colourful tile flooring and exposed stonework – yet it still feels trendy and cool. The snug kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a meal or two, but you'll want to spend your evenings sipping wine and tucking into a delicious Spanish feast at one of the excellent restaurants right on your doorstep.

With Chueca metro station just a five-minute walk away, most of Madrid's must-see sights are within easy reach. Stroll down to the Plaza Mayor in twenty minutes or spend an afternoon wandering around the city's many markets and museums. When your feet are tired and legs weary from the day's adventures, head back and unwind on the comfortable sofa before nodding off in the sumptuous bed.

Home truths:
*This is a studio apartment, so there’s no separation between the living area and the bedroom
*The sofa-bed can accommodate two guests, although this means there's not a great deal of privacy and the set-up might not suit everyone
*Please keep noise to a minimum after 11pm
*Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport is a twenty-five-minute drive from the home
