Accomodation with shelving in 7-bedroom apartment, Lavapiés (Madrid, Spain)

The rooms for rent in this 7-bedroom apartment on Calle del Mesón de Paredes are bright and they all have balconies. The furnishings are contemporary and economical, and they fit in nicely with the parquet floors and French balcony doors on all major rooms. There are two shared bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other with a shower stall, so you never have to wait - or at least not for long! Natural light spills into the kitchen, which has all the major appliances, including a dishwasher and washing machine. You can eat a meal in the dining room, which has a six-seat table, along with a small sofa if you’re just chatting. And the living room, where you can watch TV, also has a cozy sofa and a little balcony overlooking the street.

Technically, your apartment is located in the Lavapiés neighborhood, but in reality it’s closer to the center of La Latina. Either way, you’re in a lively area filled with artists. Just outside your front door is the bustling Plaza Tirso de Molina, where you can people-watch or buy fresh-cut flowers, because this is the best flower street market in Spain! There is a nearby Dia supermarket, where you can get groceries, and when you’re in the mood to eat out, you’ll find plenty of restaurant choices. A bakery and natural foods store are only 4 minutes away, and if you’re looking for a night at the theater, Teatro La Latina is a 5-minute walk away.

• The apartment is right by Plaza Tirso de Molina, less than 1 minute from the metro station on Line 1. La Latina, on Line 5, is also very close, less than 4 minutes away down Calle del Duque de Alba.
• The largest and busiest railway station in Madrid, Atocha, can be reached in less than 15 minutes on the metro from Tirso de Molina. If you're not in a hurry, you can even walk there in less than 20.
• There are many bus stops nearby. The closest one is served by line M1, which uses electrical micro-buses that can navigate the narrow streets to take you to Puerta del Sol or across the Lavapiés neighborhood.
