60 BALCONIES ICONIC, Madrid

The property is a 6-minute walk from Gran Via Metro Station, 500 metres from Puerta del Sol, and within half a kilometre of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. The Prado Museum is under 1 km away, and El Retiro Park is a 19-minute stroll. Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport is 12 km away - accessible by metro or taxi. Despite its central location, the building sits on a relatively quiet street; some road-facing rooms may still register street noise, particularly from a nearby club on weekend nights. The area is packed with restaurants and cafés, with Cebo, Dimax Restaurante Cafeteria and El Barril de las Cortes all within a 5-minute walk. Parking (on-site, paid) is available, though the surrounding streets are in a restricted traffic zone.

Accommodation ranges from compact studios to two-bedroom family apartments that are connected by a hallway. All units include a private bathroom with shower, air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a kitchenette equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, and cookware. Some studios and apartments feature a private terrace or balcony - balcony availability varies by floor (confirmed on the 2nd floor and in the top-floor attic apartments). Beds are described as large, comfortable, and plenty of units offer wall beds (fold-down) to maximise space. The family configuration for 6-7 people is a two-apartment setup separated by an external door, not internal bedrooms. Daily housekeeping is provided; apartments are modern, clean, and well maintained. A few units face a neighbouring club, which may cause noise on Thursday and Friday nights - light sleepers may prefer a room away from the street.

A breakfast-to-go service is offered: a basket is delivered to the apartment door around 08:00, typically containing bread, pastries, jam, honey, yoghurt, fruit, cereal, milk, and juice - with seasonal variations. This option is practical for early departures and those preferring a light start, but lacks hot cooked options. Guests wanting a more substantial meal have more than a dozen restaurants within a 5-minute walk, including Spanish (Cebo, Rosi La Loca Taberna), Italian (Oven Mozzarella Bar Gran Via), and Argentine (La Cabana Argentina) cuisines. The in-room kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, with a refrigerator, microwave, induction hob, coffee machine, and juicer.

The rooftop pool is open seasonally, typically from June to mid-September, and operates as a plunge pool - more suited for cooling off than swimming laps. Sun loungers and seating are provided on the terrace, with some street-facing apartments also having their own terrace furniture. The pool area is accessible to all residents and is a popular spot on hot summer days. The surrounding area offers El Retiro Park (19-minute walk) for jogging, boating, or relaxing in green space.
