Nestled in the Ibiza neighbourhood in Madrid, this home promises a serene city stay for up to four people. We think it’s an ideal base for friends and families alike, and the private balcony, though cosy, is just the spot to sip sangria after a day exploring the Spanish capital. In the city for business? The main bedroom is home to a desk, so catching up on work emails is a breeze. And, when you’re ready to explore, you can’t go wrong with a stroll around El Retiro Park to blow the cobwebs away.

Since the photoshoot, there may be minor differences in furnishings seen in 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 sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
