Address: Calle Valverde
Metro: Tribunal, Chueca (3-4 minute walk)
The Apartment Valverde is at the crossroads of three of the trendiest areas in Madrid: Malasaña neighborhood, Fuencarral street and Chueca neighborhood.
The apartment is located on the borderline where Malasaña starts, right off Plaza de San Ildefonso, one of the main meeting points of Malasaña. In summer you can sit there for hours dining and having drinks outdoors in one of its charming "terrazas". Malasaña is well known in Madrid because of its non-stop nightlife, with bars that have been open since the 80's, during the cultural and social phenomenon "La Movida Madrileña". Malasaña is the indie neighborhood of Madrid, center of counter-culture and anti-establishment groups. Nowadays it has become a residential area in vogue among artists and creative professionals in and out of town.
The apartment is just one minute away from trendy Fuencarral street, which separates Malasaña from Chueca. It has been quite a few years since Fuencarral emerged from its shady past as a rundown area in order to become "the place" and a "must" destination for those in search of the unusual and latest in music, fashion, cuisine, and entertainment. Fuencarral's commercial success is to a great extent due to its proximity to the sleek and unpredictable Chueca neighborhood, which has been rejuvenated thanks to the burst of creative energy of the gay community.
The apartment is located on Valverde Street, a street that starts in Gran Vía, runs parallel to Fuencarral Street, and ends at San Ildefonso Square. You can walk in just 3 minutes to Chueca, in 6 minutes to Gran Vía, and in 8 minutes to Sol.
