It is bright and quiet, and the thick ancient walls keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The living area is also equipped with 3 electrical heaters. The apartment was recently redecorated. To understand the unusual distribution of space and particularly sleeping areas within the apartment, please look carefully at the photos as well as the detailed description below.

MASTER BEDROOM AND 3 SLEEPING AREAS The master bedroom is bright, quiet, and cozy and has a window facing out onto a small interior courtyard as well as a ceiling window through which you can see the sky. It contains a queen bed and a large wardrobe. The 70 square meter apartment includes a 10 square meter loft above the living room with a low sloping ceiling. It is reached from the living room by a metal stair. Given the low ceiling (140 cm at peak), this area is only usable as a sleeping area. On the other side of the living room, to the left and right of the terrace entry are two semi-detached sleeping areas, each with three walls, one window to the terrace, light/electricity, and separated off from the main living area by curtains. The left-hand sleeping area contains a double futon bed; the right-hand sleeping area contains a single futon bed. THE TERRACE From the center of the living/dining area, you can access the terrace through a glass door. From here, given the situation of the apartment high on a hill overlooking the city, you have a breathtaking panorama of the entire southwest, from Lavapies to the surrounding countryside. Even with this vast panorama, the 10 square meter terrace still has a quiet and secluded feel and contains a wood table with two chairs and some additional foldable chair. The terrace also has a large retractable awning that can be extended completely across full length of the terrace so you can dine on the terrace even in the heat of the day.

All appliances and kitchen equipment are new: an electric induction stove and an electric oven, large sink, large capacity retro-style refrigerator, and clothes washing machine.

The kitchen also has ample shelf and cupboard space. There is oven but there is not a microwave. THE BATHROOM The bathroom is accessed through a sliding door from the main bedroom and is characterized by its minimalistic look and by an ample shower space. The shower is endowed with a large-capacity (80l) boiler, and the water pressure is very high. However, the capacity of the boiler is limited and in case of multiple consecutive showers, the suggested shower time is 5 minutes. CLIMATE Madrid is very hot in the summer.
