San Lucas II

In short

An architect-style one-bedroom in Salesas, Chueca's most elegant corner, with pocket doors that close off a grand backlit bedroom and a calm, minimalist design.

Living here

Step out of San Lucas and you are in Salesas, Chueca at its most polished, with boutiques, coffee shops and Pilates studios along the nearby streets. Alonso Martínez metro (lines 4, 5 and 10) is the closest station, and Paseo de Recoletos and Plaza de Chueca are both within walking distance. A morning coffee here leads easily into an afternoon of wandering the barrio.

The apartment

Begin with the bedroom, the most generous room in the home. Backlit lighting gives it a grand, restful quality, and pocket doors slide closed to separate it from the living, kitchen and dining space, so this studio lives as a one-bedroom. Access is by stairs to the third floor.

Outside the bedroom, the 30 m² layout was designed by architects with minimalism in mind, and every square inch has a purpose. Backlit shelves add soft light and a place for books and objects, while a painterly rug brings an artistic note to the clean white and warm tones of the cabinetry.

The kitchen holds an espresso machine, an integrated microwave, a refrigerator and a dishwasher, all set into the cabinetry. The bathroom is black and white, graphic and updated, with a vanity and storage under the sink. Air conditioning is included.

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.
