Orense II

In short

A light-filled one-bedroom in Cuatro Caminos, where a private sixth-floor balcony looks out over open sky, a quiet place for morning coffee a short walk from the Bernabéu.

Living here

Orense runs parallel to the Castellana, Madrid's main avenue, in a part of Cuatro Caminos where families have lived for generations. The Bernabéu is a short walk away, and Nuevos Ministerios metro puts the airport on a direct line. New restaurants and shops are filling the blocks around, and the terraces of Chamberí are close enough for an evening drink. Cuatro Caminos, residential at heart and livelier every year.

The apartment

The apartment sits on the sixth floor of a building with an elevator, and the light is the first thing you notice, with open views that keep every room bright. The private balcony looks out over unobstructed sky, high enough to feel apart from the street, a place for a quiet coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day. Inside, the decor is updated and modern, warmed by layered textures and textiles, with air conditioning for July afternoons.

The full-size kitchen has a dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator, oven and stove, with storage enough to stock up for weeks of cooking at home and to set a table for friends.

The main bedroom is spacious, with a dedicated office area inside, so you can work with the door closed, and closets that hold a full wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom is large, with a marble vanity and a shower.

What to know before booking

Arrival is from 15:00 and departure before 11:00. Arrival or departure between 21:00 and 09:00 can be arranged in advance. There is a €25 supplement, paid in cash on arrival, which goes in full to the person who comes out to meet you.

We welcome you with a complimentary set of essentials. If you would like them replenished during your stay, get in touch and we will arrange it at cost.

Cleaning during your stay is available whenever you want it: €60 for a two-hour visit, or €80 including fresh bed linen and towels.

Pets are welcome in many of our apartments. Tell us which apartment you have in mind and we will confirm. There is an additional cleaning charge of €200.

These are homes in residential buildings, so we ask that evenings stay quiet after 22:00. Having friends over is never a problem. If you are planning something larger, write to us at [email protected]. Depending on the apartment and its building, it is often possible, with an additional deposit.

Your card holds a deposit, between €250 and €1,000 depending on the apartment, and you see the amount before you pay. Nothing is charged and nothing leaves your account. It is released at the end of your stay. Should there ever be damage, we would speak to you first, with the detail in front of us.

Water, electricity and heating are included, up to €150 a month in studios and one-bedroom apartments and up to €250 a month in apartments of two bedrooms or more. If a month goes beyond that, the difference is settled from the deposit at the end of your stay and we show you the readings.

As this is a residential stay rather than a tourist one, we will ask you before arrival about the purpose of your stay and for a document supporting it. We will write to you with exactly what is needed, and someone will be there to sign the agreement with you when you arrive.

Cancellation

Free cancellation up to 14 days before arrival, with a full refund.

Cancellations made less than 14 days before arrival are charged the full amount of the booking.

Once your stay has begun, you may shorten it. Give us at least 14 days’ notice before the new departure date and we refund the nights not used from that date.

If an apartment were unavailable for reasons beyond your control, you may choose between an equivalent apartment or a full refund.
