Madrid in the Spotlight: Flexible Accommodation Boosts Investor Attractiveness and Surpasses 4,000 Euros/m² in Key Areas

The Spanish capital has become a real pole of attraction for investment in the real estate sector and, in this scenario, the Flexible Accommodation is emerging with unprecedented strength.
