Reina Sofia Studios, Madrid

These hip little studios have all the amenities and well appointed down to the last detail. It’s perfect for the lone traveller, couple or even family because it sleeps up to 4 people in one bedroom with a double bed and a pull out couch. The apartments are divided up into two levels: The bedroom is located up in a loft style area overlooking the salon. There is a fully functional kitchen and full bathroom with shower. From the apartment visitors will be able to reach the most interesting parts of the city on foot or a short metro ride (metro Antón Martín or Atocha). The beautiful wrought iron Atocha station is just down the street, as is the famous Reina Sofia museum which contains Picasso’s most famous work, Guernika. This picture depicts the senseless bombing of a town in the North of Spain and will not be travelling again as it could damage this important work of art. Also just around the corner are the botanical gardens and the Prado Museum. See works of art from the Spanish masters, Goya, Velazquez, Ribero and other important works like Hieronymous Bosch’s triptych Garden of Earthly Delights. Another good thing about the apartment is that should it rain, there is a great cinema which puts on non-hollywood films in original version (with Spanish Subtitles) just up the street: the Cine Dore. Worth checking out.
