Luminous1-bedroom apartment for rent in Lavapiés

The well-read, cosy library

Because I love a good book, or two

Will I like it here?

Probably. Hang out in the busy, but cosy, living room. There's loads of traditional paraphernalia related the world and nature. Plus, there’s hodgepodge shelving with all the books you need to read during your stay.

Really? Tell me more...

You can expect earthy hues, old-style atlases and posters around and lots of light streaming into the kitchen. Bake some cookies while you do your laundry. Laugh with a friend or two at the dining table.

We think this place would suit a couple with an interest in the world and its history. It’ll be like living in a museum, albeit a trendy one. Get some work together at the desk in the living room. Head over to see exhibitions at the Reina Sofia Museum.

Your top 3 reasons to live here:

• We love that it's dotted with maps and laden with books.
• You're super close to several Metro stations and art museums.
• You get several small balconies throughout, including in the bedroom and living room.

But you need to know this...

• The building doesn't have an elevator. Walking up to the second floor isn't so bad.
