The apartment lies within easy reach of two metro stations – Nuñez de Balboa and Rubén Dario – and is located along one of the neighborhood’s main avenues, Calle Velazquez. Here, as well as along parallel and adjacent boulevards like Calle Serrano and Paseo de la Castellana, one can lose oneself among the plethora of offerings on show. Behind the generous sprinkling of trees for which these streets are often famed, fashionistas will find a globally–recognized, shoulder-to-shoulder assembly of designer brands and independent boutiques; foodies will find some of the finest fares that Spain has to offer among the amalgamation of top-class eateries and leisure seekers will discover a host of amenities to quench their thirst for adventure.

Velazquez VII itself is characterized by coziness and color. The main living areas of the living room, dining room, and kitchen have been combined into one all-compassing yet very accommodating space, with the latter coming fully equipped with all of the essential utensils and appliances. Meanwhile, a few flourishes of creativity with regards to interior design – like the ottoman in the sitting area, the inviting, armchair-style dining seating, and the chandelier that floats above the dining table – all lend the space charm and character. In both bedrooms, the spacious beds all feature individual, custom headboards, with the large double in the master bedroom flanked by two wooden, designer nightstands that resemble the chopped trunks of trees. This bedroom has its bathroom walk-in shower and has been elegantly decorated in both areas; the gold-framed mirror particularly grabs attention. The slightly smaller second bedroom is perfect for children or guests. It also has easy access to the property’s second bathroom, which is also fitted with a shower. This apartment makes a perfect pad for a small family looking to stay in a prime patch of the city.
