We found some really stylish apartments in Madrid and decided to publish them on our website. They are managed by a local agency that took care of their chic decoration and every detail to make them unique. Each apartment has its own style but they all follow the concept of boutique ambience in a central location.

These Madrid apartments are usually rented to special guests; they are the temporary home to those international theatre artists who stay in Madrid during their performance, from a week to several months. Now they are also available for tourists who go to the Spanish capital to enjoy the sites, shopping or to have a romantic city break. Now we can all enjoy these cozy, boutique apartments in the very heart of Madrid.

Take a look at this petit studio, The Buhardilla, in the well known area of Salesas very near the Gran Via and Paseo de Recoletos, one of the most desired parts of town to stay.

Buhardilla, literally means attic; this is indeed a converted attic in a stately building. The original beams have been preserved, which combined with the modern furniture, white and black with just a splash of color, create an artistic ambience.

Its location is an added attraction because of its perfect balance between residential life and the contemporary urban feeling that one gets from the cafes, the fashionable restaurants, art galleries and specialized boutiques and gourmet shops for sophisticated people.

When we saw this spectacular Barcelona house with three floors and a swimming pool we could not believe our eyes. Barcelona is a city where living space is reduced to the minimum as the city stretches between the sea and the mountains, therefore is has very little space to extend with the growing population.

However, Magi’s Garden is more like an exception to this situation and definitely a unique place to stay. We are proud to introduce you to it.

This house features 280 m2 and its 100 m2 garden with a small swimming pool and sauna, is an oasis in the city of Barcelona, where spending some relaxing time with your family or friends can be combined with enjoying the cultural life of the city.

Located in the residential area of the quarter of Gracia, this Barcelona accommodation is close to the free spirit of the bohemian life of Barcelona, with its cozy bars, typical restaurants and art-craft shops.

To reach the very heart of Barcelona, Plaça Catalunya, it takes about 5 minutes by underground and the metro stop Lesseps is only 150 m from the house.

The most fashionable avenue of Barcelona, Passeig de Gracia, is on the green line too and it can be reached in 2 minutes by underground or simply by a pleasant stroll down the Gran de Gracia street, in about 15 minutes.

Madrid is one of the most thriving cities in the South of Europe and it is famous for its rich cultural life, the tasty tapas and its throbbing night life. If you wish to experience the essence of modern Spain, Madrid is definitely the city where you should spend some time to take in its true spirit.

We have noticed these modern apartments, the Santa Ana Penthouses, which are located right in the centre of Madrid and had to have them on our site.

Housed in a building just down the street from Plaza Mayor, they make a comfortable and stylish home base to enjoy central Madrid. The building is 19th century and completely restored and it is just 3 minutes walk from Puerta del Sol with views from the building down into the historic Plaza Mayor, just 300 meters away. This old town area of Madrid is full of life with markets, cafes, restaurants, nightlife and traditional culture.

These modern penthouses have large queen-size beds, spacious living areas and lots of natural light. Relaxing in designer decoration with all the modern facilities including fully equipped kitchens and newly renovated bathrooms is a real pleasure.

The most important business event in Amsterdam, the IBC (International Broadcast Conference) is approaching fast and the city is already getting ready for this exciting time. The conference will be held from 10^th to 14^th of September 2009 and the exhibition from 11^th to 15^th September 2009, both at the RAI Centre.

The IBC is the main European appointment for international companies of all sizes that specialize in the communication industry as well as for all those visitors who wish to take advantage of the great concentration of knowledge, training sessions and the networking opportunities created by this event.

Apartments are in great demand as an alternative corporate accommodation solution to hotels. More and more business travelers look for the comfort of spacious fully equipped charming apartments as opposed to the impersonal feel of a hotel room. Some of these short-stay apartments in Amsterdam are ideal for business travelers who wish to live an intense exhibition experience during the day while enjoying some rest and relaxation in the evening or even have a chance to do some sightseeing in Amsterdam.

Some companies though have a more pragmatic approach to the conference and prefer accommodating their staff members in one location. They usually choose to stay in serviced apartment buildings like the Delastage Apartments, which feature a more contemporary design and can allocate multiple units.
