If you want to stay in a prestigious neighbourhood, how about this home in Salamanca? There are plenty of designer boutiques, art galleries and fine-dining restaurants to explore in the area. Naturally, you will hear some city noise here. This south-facing apartment is light and bright, and we love the Juliet balcony off the open-plan living room with its leafy Ayala Street views. There’s not much food preparation space in the kitchen, but that said, it’s well-equipped, and you can always let your host arrange for a private chef to cook some authentic tapas dishes.

Modern Hideaway

We think this home is perfect for a group of friends or a family looking for a comfortable place to stay in vibrant Madrid.

There's a reason Salamanca is one of Madrid's most sought-after neighbourhoods. With its gourmet eateries, world-renowned museums and luxury boutiques lining the Golden Mile, the area offers something for everyone. Just on the cusp of this swanky postcode is this apartment. The size is ideal for couples and solo travellers, but the option of a single sofa bed keeps sleeping arrangements flexible. Netflix and a Playstation have rainy days covered, and although it's not the most exciting home, we like the design – particularly the colourful wallpaper in the bedroom.

Madrid Marigold

This elegant apartment situated between the Salamanca and Goya areas is a lovely base for a family or a group of friends visiting Madrid, offering all the comforts of home as well as a central location. 

Come inside and find a lovely open-plan living room, with a dining table and a well-equipped kitchen. There’s plenty of space for the whole party to snuggle up and enjoy an evening of movies and Spanish wine. Should you wish to rustle up a delicious supper, the kitchen has all you need to show off your culinary skills – but you may also opt to try one of the many excellent restaurants in the area. 

For a night of restful sleep head over to the cosy bedrooms, each offering a plush bed and sleek, minimalist décor. Wake up feeling restored and start your day with a cup of coffee out on the balcony. 

Outside your home, you’ll find yourself surrounded by upscale boutiques and gourmet eateries, with the historic centre and all its monuments (including the Prado Museum and El Retiro Park) within easy reach.

Extra Pillows and Blankets

This homely apartment puts you in the upmarket neighbourhood of Castellana, Madrid’s main financial district. It’s not all business, though – the streets are lined with flashy boutiques, bars, and restaurants. It’s handy for both business and leisure travellers. Plus, the easily accessible public transport connects you with the rest of the city. Back home, the space might be a little snug for all four guests, but it’s a cosy place to relax after a day in the city. It’s a great fit for both long and short term stays, with an excellent location, functional amenities, and two remote working stations.

Casa de Serenidad

Seeking a stylish base in Madrid? This apartment is just the ticket. You'll find it near Chamberí, only a short walk from the metro connecting you to the best of the city. From shopping on Gran Vía to dining in nearby restaurants, there is plenty to see and do here. Neither the kitchen nor some of the bedrooms are the biggest, but it has all the essentials for a hassle-free stay. Just note that though there's space for five, we think it's a better fit for four.

Housed in a beautiful building in Madrid’s elegant Almagro neighbourhood – known for its grand mansions, foreign embassies, and art galleries – this comfortable apartment puts you in an ideal spot to experience the city’s art, culture and gastronomy. 
 
Inside, wood floors, contemporary decor and a collection of eye-catching pieces of art create a calm and welcoming impression in the open-plan living area. The sectional sofa beckons chilled-out evenings over a good book and a glass of Spanish red, while the desk space here comes in handy for those needing to catch up on work. The dining table invites sociable breakfasts over invigorating coffees and celebratory dinners when you’re not out sampling the local tapas scene, and the three comfortable bedrooms are ready to ease you into a restful night’s sleep at the end of a long day of sightseeing. 
 
Speaking of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the Sorolla Museum (seven minutes), bustling Gran Vía (twenty-two minutes), leafy El Retiro Park (twenty-four minutes) and the glamorous Salamanca district (fifteen minutes). 


Almagro Dandy

Fashionistas will love this freshly renovated, stylish apartment – it's just a couple of minutes walk from Madrid's Golden Mile with its range of luxury boutiques. Foodies will also be delighted, thanks to the range of restaurants on offer, but if you want to eat in there's a thoroughly modern kitchen where you can cook using local Spanish produce. Enjoy your meal at the dining table, before getting comfortable on the sofa with a glass of rioja in hand. This roomy abode is perfect for families, friends, or professionals on business trips – there are several desks to work from if you need to, and comfy beds to sink into at the end of the day. Whatever you have planned, one thing is for sure – this city and home will beguile you.

Blue Torito is a chilled-out home located in one of the liveliest parts of Madrid. Even though it sports a gentle colour palette, it uses patterns and textures to give it a bit more spunk. From woven carpets to the textured headboards, it's apparent that the hosts like playing with details. The design is somewhat lacking a coherent theme, but Blue Torito is still a solid, bright, and comfortable choice, with access to a resident-only pool and terrace.

With a fantastic address, just off the Paseo de la Castellana, this apartment has a wealth of attractions nearby. The upmarket districts of Salamanca, Chamberi and Justicia are all close, so you'll have plenty of fine restaurants, chic boutiques and art galleries to enjoy. With one of Madrid's main avenues on your doorstep, the slight downside is you will hear some street noise here, but it's easily fixed with some earplugs if you're a light sleeper. We have to say, we love the views over Plaza Villa de París from this home. The kitchen is well-equipped, so you can cook some homemade meals or let your host arrange a private chef to create some of your favourite tapas dishes.

Located in the centre of Madrid, this apartment in the Chamberí neighbourhood is perfectly situated to explore everything the city has to offer. Start each day with breakfast and a cafe con leche alfresco on the balcony terrace as you soak up the morning sunshine and plan your day. 

Close by to this home, you can visit a plethora of museums, including the History Museum, which is just a twelve-minute walk away. Or on rainy days, why not watch a movie at the cinema – a short four-minute walk away. 

The lively Plaza del Dos de Mayo – an urban square which is named after the uprisings that happened on May 2nd 1808, when the population of Madrid rebelled against Napoleon's invading troops – is just an eleven-minute walk away. The plaza is home to many bars and cafes, and at the weekend it often hosts a craftwork and design market. 

Public transport links that are just a four-minute walk away will also allow you to explore further afield. El Retiro Park is just twenty-three minutes away using public transport. El Retiro was exclusively used by royalty until it was opened up to the public in the 19th-century, and now you can admire its ornate fountains, see statues of Spanish writers and heroes, take a leisurely stroll, and lunch in one of the open-air cafes. 

The stunning sights of the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Plaza Mayor are both eighteen-minutes away from this home using public transport. While Casa de Campo – where you will find a zoo and aquarium, an amusement park, tennis courts, an outdoor public swimming pool and much more – is just under an hour away on public transport. 

Whatever you’re looking for on your trip, whether its sightseeing or wine tasting – just twenty-six minutes away using public transport – this home is ideally located to do it all.

With a big and luminous living room that transforms into a home cinema, Lovefield is a great stay for those who like to strike a balance between spending their time sightseeing and relaxing at home. The neighbouring streets of Chueca are filled with great bars and restaurants, but they're also well-connected to the city centre. One of the bedrooms in Lovefield doesn't have a window, but otherwise, the design is well-thought-through and coherent.

Molten Brass is neat and tidy. There isn’t a lot that jumps out at you, but that’s not necessarily a problem – the atmosphere inside is pretty calm. That stands in contrast to the atmosphere on the street below, which is pretty intense, but that’s because you’re in the heart of Malasaña, so there’s tonnes to do. As is common with any flat that is rented out all the time, there’s a lack of personality but the attention to detail, and generally pleasant, if simple, design help make the flat feel more homely.


Molten Brass

Step-Free Access

Where history and culture meet trendy city living, the Justicia neighbourhood is one of Madrid’s most stylish areas – and this chic apartment is right in the heart of it all. 

Inside you’ll be greeted by contemporary fittings, with colourful pops of colour and traditional Spanish patterns featured in the rugs to the decorative wall ornaments. You'll love relaxing with a glass of red wine as you admire Madrid’s cityscape from the large living room windows and plan your itinerary. And, the comfy and calming bedrooms are perfect for getting forty winks after a long day of sightseeing. 

From here, you can soak up the capital's unique atmosphere as you wander through the winding city streets. There you’ll find a wonderful mix of beautiful, neoclassical architecture, trendy boutiques, and charming plazas. To get your culture fix, you can take a twenty-minute walk to Museo Nacional del Prado, then stroll through Parque de El Retiro. Later, spend the evening at the theatre, followed by a late dinner at one of the gorgeous terraced restaurants in true Spanish style. 

Vida Pacifica

When you see as many flats as we do, you learn very quickly to tell which homes have been done up for convenience, and which are a labour of love. Toquilla clearly falls into the latter category. It’s been designed as a whole, with thought and attention put into the schemes, as well as the materials. We particularly liked the concrete pillars and the glass walls, neither of which are especially common in Madrid. The only real complaint we have is the fake plants – They’re understandable for the convenience, but really, most places would be better off without anything.


Toquilla

This chic and attractive apartment has everything you might need for a comfortable city break. It’s located in Chueca, one of Madrid’s liveliest neighbourhoods, full of cafes, boutiques, and bars. Despite its central location, this is a peaceful home-from-home, ideal for unwinding after busy sightseeing days and evenings spent feasting on tapas. It’s bright and welcoming, flooded with light, and has been beautifully decorated in muted tones. Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room – if you’re hoping for more space, we’d recommend a maximum occupancy of two. 

The Bohemian Retreat

While this studio apartment situated in the heart of Madrid may be small in size, it more than makes up for it in charm and comfort. An ideal base for a couple or a solo traveller, this city gem has everything to make your stay a restful one, and when it comes to exploring the many wonders the Spanish capital has to offer, you couldn’t wish for a better location as your starting point.

Enter to be greeted by a warm and welcoming space, bathed in light flooding in through the large windows which lead onto a little balcony. Overlooking a charming street of the Barrio de las Letras, this is a lovely place to sit down and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Back inside you’ll find a large sofa inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax after a day of dashing around the city – settle in for a snuggly night of movies. The bright and well-equipped kitchen will make rustling up a quick and delicious supper a breeze, and you’ll be able to savour it at the dining table. 

A great added bonus is the roof terrace where you can lounge about on the comfy seats and admire the city views sprawling out before you. For a night of restful sleep, you’ll love the soft and comfy bed – and while it shares the space with the rest of the living area, the smart and elegant design means that you won’t feel cramped here. 

Outside your front door, you’ll be just minutes away from the great museums, including the Reina Sofia and Museo del Prado, as well as the beautiful Retiro Park.

The Lady of Letters 

Cafetiere

Boasting a privileged position in Madrid’s culture-rich Las Letras neighbourhood, this top-floor apartment offers comfort and style in equal measure. 
 
Its slanted ceilings and contemporary decor make an immediately striking welcome in the open-plan living area, bathed in light thanks to the scenic skylights that give way to rooftop views. Make yourself comfortable in the seating nook with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the city, or gather together at the dining table for a meal when you’re not out sampling the lively local tapas scene. The beamed bedroom is a serene space you’ll love retreating to at the end of the night, as you fall asleep to the glow of the moon through the skylight. 
 
What’s more, you’ve got access to the building’s shared rooftop terrace – a beautiful sun trap that beckons alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners as you watch the light fade over the city. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, you’re in an ideal spot to make the most out of Madrid’s most celebrated museums with the famous Museo Nacional del Prado a five-minute walk and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía a seven-minute stroll. You’re also a thirteen-minute walk from leafy El Retiro Park, a fifteen-minute stroll from Plaza Mayor, while bustling Gran Vía is ten minutes away on foot. 


Sun Story

Dressed in earthy tones and with a rustic charm seeping from its walls, this beautiful penthouse is a welcome retreat amidst the hustle and bustle of Madrid. With light ushered in through the large windows, highlighting the exposed beams and comfortable furnishings, you’ll feel at home from the moment you set your suitcases down. We love the window seat nestled by the door to the terrace – perfect for snuggling down with a good book to while away the hours during some downtime in your apartment. 

The rooftop terrace will entice you out with ease. It’s just the spot to start or end the day –  enjoy a morning coffee as the city stirs into life below and the sun warms your skin or gather with friends of an evening, sharing a bottle of wine and tales from the day. Up here, hidden amongst the rooftops, you could almost forget you were in the heart of Madrid. With the distant sounds of the city below, you’ll soon be itching to get out and explore. There’s a whole host of eateries on your doorstep, so stop to sample some local cuisine before discovering the elegant boulevards and manicured parks Spain’s capital is so rightfully proud of.

Your eyes will pinball in all directions upon stepping into this beautifully curated home, where cool ornaments, fabulous design features and bold colours come together in perfect, funky harmony. 
 
Equal parts bohemian, artsy and elegant, the living area is bathed in light thanks to the stunning arched stained glass window that opens up in three parts to reveal views of the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores church across the street. Further light flows in from the glass doors leading out onto a private rooftop terrace with incredible views over Madrid’s skyline. Whether you start mornings here over fresh coffee and pastries or end the night with a celebratory Sangria, you’ll love feasting on the wide-sweeping views and watching the hustle and bustle below from your privileged seventh-floor vantage point. 
 
Back in the living room, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Kick back on the stylish Mies Van der Rohe chair with one of the countless books on the shelves or make yourself comfortable as you listen to some vinyl from the host’s extensive collection. In the evenings, gather around the grand dining table for a celebratory soirée, then retreat to the tropical-inspired main bedroom for a blissful night’s sleep. With a children’s bed in the second bedroom as well as plenty of toys and games, this is the perfect spot for families, while the jazzy decor, vinyl collection, DVDs and stacked shelves will keep adults wonderfully happy too.
 
When it comes to exploring, your Chamberí neighbourhood offers a relaxed atmosphere away from the tourist crowds, with an abundance of tapas bars and restaurants frequented by locals. Elsewhere, the ​​Sorolla Museum is a seventeen-minute walk, bustling Gran Vía is an eighteen-minute stroll, while the Royal Palace of Madrid is twenty-five minutes away on foot. 
 


The Rohean

In the heart of Madrid’s artsiest neighbourhood, Barrio de las Letras, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a cultural city break. First of all, you’ve got the world-famous Prado museum a five-minute walk away, then there’s the sprawling greenery of Retiro Park, just seven minutes on foot. If locally-grown fresh food and lazy lunches of tapas are your thing, head to Antón Martín Market, an eight-minute walk away.

Perhaps stock up and head back to your quiet bolthole, where a compact but fully-equipped kitchen awaits. Floor-to-ceiling French-style windows let the sunshine stream in, so dining at the table inside is a delight during the day. The decor is neutral and soothing in dove-grey and dusky pinks. The best bit? You can take your fresh olives from the market and a bottle of wine up to the shared rooftop terrace where an outdoor lounge with rooftop views awaits.

Goya's Paintbrush

Modern, compact and centrally located, this apartment is the perfect landing pad for those always on the go. Inside, it’s stripped-back and minimalistic with funky patterned walls, tiles and textiles adding interest to the spaces. Wake up feeling refreshed in the neat bedrooms before starting the day with a quick breakfast put together in your fully-equipped kitchen. Once you’ve finished your coffee, head out and explore your surroundings. 

Begin with a trip to the Prado Museum then enjoy a picnic in sunny Retiro Park, a short walk from your doorstep. Mosey over to the Royal Palace or shop ‘til you drop along the Gra Vía. Come evening, seek out a long-standing tablao for a rousing flamenco performance followed by tasty tapas in a laid-back restaurant. 

Get Up & Go

Twenty minutes on foot from Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and El Retiro Park, this apartment is well-placed to explore. Many shops, restaurants, and metro stations are nearby, as well as some of Madrid's most famous markets. When you're not sightseeing, this central home is practical and comfortable. We love the exposed brick and stone walls, though it does mean it's a little dark. The kitchen is the ideal size to rustle up lighter fare, but we suspect you'd prefer dining out. 

Ladrillo

This apartment in the Malasaña district of Madrid is a true sanctuary in the city. With plenty of style and a location in one of the most exciting areas of the capital, it's the perfect place to kick back and relax between your adventures. 

The pink-themed decor is chic without being too sugary sweet – think sorbet-coloured chairs and a soft, velour sofa. Uncork a bottle of Albariño wine and get comfortable after a busy day of sightseeing – you'll feel at home in no time at all. When you get hungry, you can whip up some of your favourite dishes in the kitchen to serve at the serene dining space. And, come evening, you can look forward to a fantastic night's sleep in one of the cosy bedrooms, complete with crisp white sheets. 

The surrounding streets are full of bakeries, quirky bars, and vintage clothing shops that are popular with local students and visiting tourists alike. When you want to do some sightseeing, take a fifteen-minute walk over to the Royal Palace, then visit Plaza Mayor, one of the city's most famous squares. And, if you want to travel further afield, simply hop on the subway at Noviciado station – it's just three minutes away from your front door.

Calle Almagro is probably one of the most iconic streets in Chamberí. Historically, the elites have fled central Madrid in hopes of finding a quieter vibe in this neighbourhood, leading to low-key chic architecture, great restaurants, and bars. Mucha's Jungle has an atypical interior design that reminded us of a Soho townhouse. The wooden floor is a piece of art on its own, and there are lots of beautiful design details dotted around. In spite of the fact that it looks a lot bigger, this is a small attic home, which is perfect for all who thrive in pretty, cosy spots. 

Mucha's Jungle

Located in Madrid’s central Justicia neighbourhood, this practical studio-style apartment may be short on space, but it offers a prime position from which to soak up the best of the city’s sights. At full capacity, two guests will need to share the sofa bed which will make the living area a little tight. And the lack of natural light and views may not suit those looking for a more scenic stay. But for a base to drop your bags and explore nearby Gran Vía, El Retiro Park and Plaza Mayor, it’s a cosy spot that hits the mark. 


The Long Journey

Keen to be in the hustle and bustle? This apartment, just a ten-minute stroll from Gran Vía, may be a great choice. It's easy to get to all the landmarks on foot or by metro, and there are a lot of bars and restaurants nearby. Unsurprisingly it can get a tad noisy – but that's part of the city experience. We love the bright living area, and the two snug bedrooms channel Spanish sunshine with their yellow paint. Size-wise, it's rather compact but still comfortable – just note that it's on the second floor and lacks a lift.

Amber Thistle

Nestled in Madrid's Diego de León street, this sleek pad has a large balcony with seating and a dedicated home office space. You'll be able to bring a furry friend for an additional cost, and with the French doors flung open, the apartment is bright and airy. The location means there's potential for some noise, and you won't find much parking, but we think it's in a great spot from which to get around the city. El Retiro Park is just an eight-minute cycle from your door, and there's plenty of public transport close by for visiting the must-see sights and cultural hotspots.

Green & Mediterranean

This stylish apartment has that perfect blend – a central location that maintains a sense of peace and privacy at all times. Nestled on the second floor and with bedrooms facing the inner patio of the building complex, you're guarded from the bustle of the streets below. 

If you did want to feel the energy of the city from your apartment, we suggest taking a seat on the balcony. A small, intimate table rests at the end of the balcony – an idyllic spot to sit with a glass of sangria or cup of coffee. 

Once you've felt the fervour of the city from the balcony, get out and explore the beguiling streets and charming plazas. For a cultural afternoon, visit the array of galleries and museums, stopping off for an empanada on the way. 

For the foodies, Madrid is bursting with top-class restaurants. Find menus spanning the globe alongside quintessentially Spanish dishes. After you've enjoyed sumptuous food, take the scenic route back home to burn off the paella and discover the city's hidden gems.

A Moment Away

In the vibrant district of Salamanca, just a four-minute walk from the Nuñez De Balboa metro stop, this home is a classy yet unpretentious retreat in one of the most upscale areas of the city. There’s a beautiful contrast throughout where the decor mixes luxury furniture and decorations with somewhat industrial architectural features. A typically Spanish tiled floor separates the dining area from the white wooden floor of the living space, but with chunky, girder-like iron pillars at the other end. The pale frames of the delicate bamboo armchairs contrast the black metal and glass door frames leading to the kitchen. Overall, it really makes for an intriguing mix of interiors that is unique, opulent, and full of character – just like the surrounding neighbourhood. Head out into the elegant boulevards of this area to find Michelin-starred restaurants, exclusive bars, and high-end boutiques. Or you can escape the city vibes for an afternoon by taking a seventeen-minute walk to the Parque de El Retiro. You’re sure to be enchanted by this 350-acre parkland offering a boating lake, galleries, and sculptures.

We challenge you to find a prettier apartment overlooking the Royal Palace of Madrid. This place is a real showstopper, with twin Juliet balconies opening over Plaza de Oriente Gardens. Bold, bright and just downright beautiful, it's dripping in character thanks to ornate cornice, traditional shuttered windows and classical furnishing. A riot of elegant colours and patterns, it couldn't be further from modern minimalism if it tried.

Once you've arrived and stared out of the window for long enough to take it all in, choose between the two pretty bedrooms – one decorated in calming greens, the other in vibrant terracotta. There's a grand, open-plan living space to keep everything sociable, and a kitchen with everything you'll need for cooking at home. But we suspect you'll be eating out much of the time – it would be rude not to when surrounded by some of the best cafes and restaurants in the city. And with most of the major attractions on your doorstep too, you'll have plenty to see and do.

This is an elaborate home that impresses with the broad strokes as well as fine ones. An enviable structure with high ceilings and big windows is filled with custom-made furniture that leaves plenty of space to move around.
