Description from the owner

Ă“PERA PRIMA

THE SPACE

This splendid 120 m2 double loft has a big living room in the first floor followed by a dining room, a kitchen and a bathroom. In the 40 m2 of the second floor, we find the main bedroom and a bathroom with a bathtub. All this is accompanied by a cosy terrace with a view to the Royal Theatre.

Inside, you can enjoy a very special Bohemian & Glamour atmosphere. It is a privilege to live surrounded by unique collector’s items and attractive pieces of art. Ópera Prima has been used several times as scenery for movie filming.

The living room with its interesting library by the fireplace provides... a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The purple velvet chaise-longue is ideal to relax watching TV or one of the many movies that Ă“pera Prima offers.

The main bedroom situated in the second floor has a comfortable 135x190 cm. sized bed. All bed lining and high-end bathroom products are included, as well as pillows and duvets.

The separate kitchen is fully equipped, proving the opportunity to enjoy a snack or a home cooked meal at any time.

Amenities included at Ópera Prima: central heating, hot and cold air conditioning, iPod/iPhone loudspeakers, wireless Internet, LCD 28” TV screen, DVD, microwave oven with grill, vitro-ceramic stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing/drying machine, vacuum cleaner, iron, juicer, electric kettle, whisk, toaster and hair dryer.

THE ART

Ópera Prima has a unique art collection composed of photographs taken by Francesc Catalá Roca (portrait of Joan Miró), various paintings of known artists like Manuel Quejido (70s), Gennaro Castelone and Jesús Vázquez, a graphic work of Picasso and Miró (“The Constellations”) and an interesting wood sculpture situated at the entrance of the apartment.

Also, it has distinguished furniture, such as the Bertoia armchair, two leather armchairs from the 20s, the Italian steel chairs, the dining room cupboard from the beginnings of the last century, the living room lamps, the terrace chairs of the same design as the ones used in the Woody Allen film “Scoop” and an amazing fireplace designed by M. Milá.Read more

Additional Location Information

The Ă“pera district is located in the heart of old Madrid, packed full of historic buildings conserving a feel of the imperial era under the Habsburgs rule.

Ă“pera Prima is situated in a privileged location just a few steps from the Royal Theatre with a view on it and very close to the Royal Palace, Plaza de Oriente, the Almudena Cathedral, Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and Gran Via.

A few steps away is the well-know pedestrianized street, Arenal, connecting Plaza de Ă“pera and Puerta del Sol, and full of traditional shops. This area, characterized by its maze of streets bursting with all types of restaurants and tapas bars, offers the visitor a cultural and gastronomic experience in the heart of Madrid.

While the neighborhood is ideal for pleasant walks, it also enjoys excellent bus and metro connections, with a transport interchange with various metro lines and commuter trains at Puerta del Sol. If you are bringing your car, the area has a car park in Plaza de Oriente.

  This was the second time staying at one of the estancias con arte and as ever I was really impressed. Beautiful flat, wonderfully located - I'd recommend it any day for anyone looking to have a relaxing weekend in style.
