Big room with shelving in 4-bedroom apartment, Retiro (Madrid, Spain)

The rooms to rent in this 4-bedroom apartment on a 6th floor on Calle del Alcalde Sáinz de Baranda are ideal for female workers or postgraduate students. There are plenty of windows throughout, including in the front door hallway and the WC located there. Around the corner is a second full bathroom with a shower stall, and a cozy but fully-equipped kitchen with a washing machine. The end of the hall opens to a combined living and dining room, which is furnished with a 4-seat table, sofa, 2 chairs and a large flat-screen TV.

This neighborhood, Retiro, takes its name from the expansive park that is just a 10-minute walk from your apartment. It’s a great spot to get away, but there are plenty of activities and tourist sights to see here too. If you are a medical worker, you’ll be happy to note you’re located close to three different hospitals, including the Children’s Hospital at the edge of the park. There are a number of restaurants nearby, including a chocolate café, and there is a cinema just 10 minutes away.

• There are two bus stops right outside your front door, but the Metro Sainz de Baranda stop is just 3 minutes away, around the corner, and serves 5 different routes, including a night bus.
• The Sainz de Baranda metro station, on lines 6 and 9, is just 4 minutes away.
• The Atocha railway station may be a 30-minute walk away, but it's a 30-minute walk through El Retiro Park. If you're in a hurry, though, a taxi can get you there in 12 minutes.
