In the middle of Salamanca, and with El Retiro park at the end of the road, White Cardinal is in a great location for exploring Madrid and doing some high-end shopping. It’s a simple flat, without much flash, but it’s comfortable, and the kitchen is very well equipped, particularly for a space of its size. The windows face an internal courtyard, which is both a blessing and a curse – a bit of natural light is sacrificed, but it also means that there isn’t as much noise as if the street were directly below.

Home truths
The grouting in the shower could do with a bit of love
Some parts of the flat can get a bit dark
The wallpaper designed to look like exposed bricks is a strange design choice
Two people can sleep on a double sofa bed in the living room, but there wouldn't be much privacy or much space left over

Local guide
About Chamberí
Chamberi is a residential area in the Northern part of central Madrid. It used to be populated by aristocrats, which gives it its unique look and feel. It’s a cultural hub that defies conventional tourist expectations, with lots of quirky attractions – start at the Sorolla Museum and make your way to the old Chamberí metro station that’s been turned into a transport museum.
