Teleworking from Madrid: long stays in Usera

Working for a while from another city is no longer unusual: it’s the new “going to town in August”, but with Zoom. If you are thinking about Madrid for a stay of weeks, we will tell you why Usera works better than the center for live-work.

What you need to telework well

1. Reliable WiFi: our accommodations have a stable connection for video calls and cloud work; For emergencies, mobile data in Madrid has full coverage.
2. Silence during the day: Usera is a residential neighborhood — during the day it sounds like neighborhood life, not a tourist party. Your video calls will thank you.
3. Table and routine: working from bed runs out in two days; Having your own space for your laptop changes the week.
4. Decompression at the end of the day: Madrid Río for a walk — closing your laptop and going for a walk along the river is the best possible transition between work and your life.

Why Usera and not the center

• Price: entire weeks at neighborhood prices, not Gran Vía prices. For long stays the difference is enormous.
• Daily life solved: supermarkets (including the largest Asian ones in Madrid), food market, gyms, laundry.
• The center is still 20 minutes away: circular line 6 for your afternoons of museums, terraces and tourism.

Long stay logistics

• Long stays are coordinated directly through Airbnb: write to us from the ad that interests you with your dates and your plan, and we will look at it case by case.
• Our two-bedroom apartment is suitable for a couple + office, or for two teleworkers; If you come alone, the rooms are the adjusted option.

Madrid has a perfect rhythm to work: free museums at 6:00 p.m., late dinner, and a neighborhood that doesn’t sleep at all. Come a few weeks and check it out.
