The area
Madrid's grid of six-storey nineteenth-century blocks remains the capital's most liquid rental market. International tenants compete for reformed apartments on Ayala, Goya and Velázquez; LAU five-year tenancies with two-month deposits are the norm, and well-presented two-bedroom flats let within a fortnight. Retail on Calle de Serrano and the Retiro park border keep demand structurally ahead of supply.
