Location & Accessibility

Extremely well-connected in central Madrid. The metro station is just steps from the front door, providing easy access across the city. The neighborhood is highly walkable with excellent local amenities, and a major park is right around the corner.

Public Transport

Car Considerations

A car is not necessary for daily life in this central location. Parking availability in the dense Chamberí neighborhood is likely limited and may be challenging.
