What this apartment may lack in size, it makes up for in location. It’s an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller – and for those in Madrid on business, the desk will be a welcome bonus. With a sofa bed for two extra guests, it works nicely for families who are happy to share their space, too. The kitchen and bathroom are both on the small side, but you’ll find all the key ingredients for a comfortable stay here. Locally, culture abounds with a plethora of museums nearby, or El Retiro Park for a stroll or morning jog.

Home truths

  • At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

  • There's no oven here – though there is a hob. The kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

  • The bathroom in this home is very small. That said, it has everything you need to get ready for the day.

  • Since the photoshoot, there may be minor differences between the photos and what you find in the apartment, as part of the host's home upkeep.

  • Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend using public transport where possible.
