Hortaleza - studio apartment in Madrid

Although a hit with the in-crowds for its style and hip social setting, this trendy Madrid studio's central Chueca neighbourhood makes it ideal for any short-trip or visit.

Bright and breezy, its hardwood flooring and prettily modern furnishings are set off by kitsch prints and colourful décor pieces with a warm madrileño feel.

With enough space and comfort for couples or small groups and an easy walk to some of Madrid's hot central areas, the Hortaleza apartment is a great find in charming Chueca.

The apartment is located in the heart of the buzzing Chueca neighbourhood, surrounded by designer boutiques, tapas bars and great shopping, a short walk from Malasaña.

Soak up the friendly atmosphere in this notoriously arty and open-minded area, with an array of trendy plazas and tavern bars around its little streets, making for a great night out.

The Parque del Retiro, the Paseo del Prado with its array of world-renowned museums, such as the Thyssen and the main Atocha train station, are under 10 minutes' commute.
