The building has a doorman during business hours. The apartment is located in one of the most representative streets of Madrid. The Salamanca neighbourhood is one of the most important areas of Madrid both for its peculiar distribution and for the residents who have traditionally inhabited its emblematic streets. Its construction dates from the second half of the nineteenth century and corresponds to the urban expansion carried out during the reign of Isabel II. The precursor to whom it owes its name was the Malaga-born José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquis of Salamanca, who conceived a new site with a careful building that would house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. In nineteenth-century style, it is characterised by its special regular distribution in the form of a checkerboard with perpendicular streets. Its buildings are of special interest thanks to their architectural quality and the beauty of their facades. Traditionally, Salamanca was an area of residential use, especially inhabited by the country's political and economic elites. In the last fifty years, this residential character coexists with other activities such as business, diplomacy and especially commerce, as it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas in the capital. The Buen Retiro Park is the real protagonist of this neighborhood of Madrid that has its flanks in the Streets of Alcalá and O'Donnell in the far north, Calle Doctor Esquerdo in the east, Avenida del Mediterráneo and Paseo de Reina Cristina in the south and Calle Alfonso XII in the far west.
