1 room apartment of 80m² in Madrid

This enchanting, two-bedroom apartment presents a fantastic vantage point from which to reach your own verdict on the matter. The area boasts a feast of markets as well as boutiques, restaurants and bars. The not-long-ago refurbished Mercado San Anton, for example (a beacon of leisure that sits within the sub-barrio of Chueca), is a no-brainer for lovers of tasty, traditional tapas. This area is also well served by various transport links, including the nearby Alonso Martínez metro station, whilst its close proximity to the heart of the city renders it perfect for residents in terms of both relaxation and exploration. Housed within a typical building, Serrano Anguita I's elegant charms are evident from the moment you enter the apartment's luminous and spacious living area, which combines lounging and dining arrangements in an open-plan space. Highlights of this L-shaped space include the French doors opening out onto a balconette in the sitting area – inviting in plenty of light in the process – as well as the two contemporary-style armchairs and multi-headed standing lamp: a feature of what is a carefully-considered interior setup. Towards the more elongated side of the 'L' sits a modern dining table with seating for six, and, a little further along, a retro-style wooden bench for reading or for more intimate socializing. A study table positioned by one of the whitewashed walls completes what is a multifunctional leisure space. The kitchen, meanwhile, is a balanced combination of contemporary and classic, and comes stocked with all of the utilities and appliances you would expect and more. The apartment's two sleeping quarters are very similar both in their spatial arrangement and aesthetic, with both featuring the laminate wood flooring found throughout the home, huge double beds swathed in high quality linens and ample, built in storage. Both also feature a balconette accessed via french doors and easy through passage to a roomy bathroom with shower. Read less
